2SER interview: iVote scrapped by Electoral Commission

Last month, the New South Wales Electoral Commission announced that the iVote online voting platform, which was introduced by the Government in 2021, will be discontinued for the 2023 State election.

iVote provided people who have trouble getting to a polling booth with a way of voting from home. It was a game-changer for the blind or vision impaired as it provided a way for them to lodge a secret, and verifiable vote, independently.
