Poll: Do you think online voting should be included as a voting method or not?
Hi everyone,
This is my opinion.
I hope online voting happens. People could use their real.me accounts or do a voice activation or just connect via their email or something to carry out the voting and to authenticate themselves. Another option could be that codes are sent to phones,emails, addresses to verify themselves and their location so they can vote.
If online voting is made available I believe it will be utilised and there will be more voting occurring as many people use the internet and technology and it's convenient and can save time.
Also, if voting is available for council based elections and it is successful it would signal and support the need to incorporate this into the Elections for politicians and parties. Furthermore, online voting could be utilised for referendums and other things.
The NZ Census was available online this year and was completed for the 12 residents at home and there weren't any technical issues etc.
That's my thoughts anyway, thought I'd share in case others did not see this article and are interested in the topic and my opinion 😁.
Feel free to comment if you can (it's my first time creating a poll on here).

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?
A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.
Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.

Poll: Do you think the idea will work?
The Government will today unveil a radical new plan to www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|underwrite construction of new private houses|, as high interest rates and an economic downturn make it tough for developers to get finance for new projects.
The new time-limited scheme is designed to de-risk developments, making finance easier to obtain for developers to start building. Developers often have to pre-sell a proportion of dwellings in any development in order to secure finance, which has become much more difficult in the current economic downturn.
