Interest of Canadians in Internet voting (2004, 2006, 2008 and 2011)

"By and large, results show that a moderate proportion of electors would be likely to vote over the Internet, and that this proportion is increasing from one general election to the next. Furthermore, there is a significant association of moderate strength between that likelihood and age group and, to a lesser extent, education level and employment status. That said, there remains a high level of perceived risk associated with Internet voting. Since 2004, only one in every three people has expressed an appreciable degree of confidence in the safety of such a voting method. Overall, we note that, in the entire period under review, university graduates had less of a tendency to consider Internet voting risky. With regard to the principle of Internet voting, we note that about one in two electors agrees with the principle, regardless of the socio-demographic variable taken into account. However, according to our observations on candidates, there is a major opinion gap between candidates who were elected and those who were not; with the latter expressing considerably more agreement with the principle of Internet voting than elected candidates"--Conclusion.
