Excerpt:-

> Taking the lid off e-voting

> While the Department for Constitutional Affairs have
left us in the  
> dark with no news at all about the e-voting pilots
due for May  
> 2007, The Open Rights Group and FIPR have been hard
at work.  
> Elections are a cornerstone of our democracy so
we’re going to take  
> the lid off the e-voting black box with an
unprecedented week of  
> unique free events. All are very welcome but spaces
are limited.
>
> Our headline event, “Electronic Voting: A challenge
to democracy?”  
> features a distinguished set of speakers with
considerable  
> practical and academic knowledge of electronic
voting systems  
> around the world. Their experiences will make for
fascinating  
> listening, we’re looking forward to stimulating
debate and  
> questions from the audience.
>
> Our workshop for activists will be the first time
Europeans will  
> have gathered together to formally discuss and
organise around the  
> challenge that e-voting presents our democracies. It
will be a very  
> exciting starting point for future collaboration.
