Internet Voting for UOCAVA Voters Notes on the Relevance of European Experience

Over the past decade, several European countries have flirted with and some have adopted Internet voting. In some cases, notably that of Geneva, Switzerland and the Netherlands, one of the primary motives for Internet voting was to better serve the needs of expatriate voters. In both countries, the complaints of expatriate voters were very similar to the complaints of UOCAVA voters. Too many requested postal ballots never arrived or, if they did arrive, they arrived too late to be returned in time to be counted.
