it looks as if the government is at least prepared to try out new methods of voting. next year’s local elections will include experiments in electronic, internet and phone voting.

there are many things that i find a pain in the arse to do in person but voting is one which i don’t mind at all. you need to vote so irregularly that i don’t find that having to screw up my schedule to do it to be much of a problem. i hope the pilot schemes are successful all the same.
