Would you trust digital voting election results?



By  Neil Barraclough

Potential British voters remain skeptical about whether the results of elections featuring digital voting can be trusted, our research has revealed.

More than half (51%) of all respondents said they would trust less the result of any election that involved online voting.

In contrast, only 4% of Brits said election results would be more trustworthy if they featured smartphone/tablet voting.

A third of respondents said they would trust digital voting election results the same as they do traditional ‘pencil and paper’ ballots.
