About eVoting
As well as meeting industry standards for security and data protection, the eVoting system adopted by the Law Society:
-
provides for a secure ballot that allows only eligible voters to vote,
-
allows for secondary ballots that are restricted to voters from specific geographical areas (such as in provincial elections),
-
allows a voter to review their vote before submission,
-
ensures a voter can only vote once.
