Description
Why vote if it takes me more than 30 minutes? The impact of internet voting on reducing the cost of electoral participation. Declining levels of turnout have become characteristic in most of the developed world while the use of internet voting is expected to alleviate the problem. A particular feature of internet voting is convenience: instead of voting at the polling station, people can comfortably choose the time and place to cast their votes. Making voting more convenient, thus, eases political participation, especially among those for whom it is relatively costly.
