in 2023, eligible voters in Germany will be able to cast their votes online for the first time in a so-called remote election. This is made possible by a test run, which will be carried out in this year’s social election of the statutory health insurance funds.
In the new CAISzeit, Dr. Matthias Begenat and Prof. Dr. Christoph Bieber discuss how digital voting works, what challenges are involved and whether we will also be able to cast our votes digitally in other elections in the future.
Christoph Bieber is a professor of political science and heads the research programme “Digital Democratic Innovations” at CAIS. One focus of his work is on digital elections and voting.
