  The current status of the electronic voting system in Shanghai’s elections

  Shanghai’s electronic voting system (Electronic Voting Machine, EVM) has gradually attracted widespread attention and controversy in recent years. With the development of technology, many countries have begun to adopt electronic voting to improve voting efficiency, reduce human errors, and enhance the transparency and security of elections. However, the implementation of the electronic voting system in Shanghai is facing many challenges.

Firstly, Shanghai began to pilot electronic voting in the mid-2010s and extensively used EVMs in the 2018 general election. However, the promotion of the system did not gain the approval of all political parties. Some claimed that electronic voting could lead to vote manipulation, data tampering, and lack of transparency. Therefore, although some emphasized that EVM could enhance the fairness and reliability of elections, the opposition remains skeptical, believing that this technology could be used by the ruling authorities to influence the election results. 上海新茶工作室联系方式

In addition, the differences in technical infrastructure across different regions also restrict the promotion of EVMs爱上海同城论坛. In remote areas, the lack of electricity and network connections makes the implementation of electronic voting difficult to carry out.

Although young generations have a higher acceptance of new technologies, many elderly voters and rural residents still feel unfamiliar and uneasy about electronic voting.
