Overview America is not the only nation developing and using new voting technologies. Around the world, many nations are moving toward more advanced electronic voting systems. The goal of these reforms or voting techniques varies from nation to nation. Some nations are attempting to increase turnout in elections, others seek to reduce election fraud, and still others want to enfranchise difficult-to-serve voting populations. This paper examines the lessons that can be learned by studying election reforms in other nations. The paper focuses most directly on the United Kingdom, which created a national Electoral Commission (EC) in 2001. The goal is to compare and contrast the model used to test election reforms and new voting techniques in both nations.
