(Strasbourg, 16-17 November 2010)

The Council of Europe hold the third edition in a series of biennial meetings to exchange experiences with remote and non-remote e-voting in its member states, in the light of Recommendation Rec(2004)11 and of the conclusions of the 2008 review meeting (Madrid, November 2008). Besides the exchange of different experiences with remote and/or non-remote e-voting in member states in the light of the Recommendation Rec(2004)11, guidelines on certification of e-voting systems and on transparency of e-enabled elections were presented and discussed at this meeting. Lastly, the “E-voting Handbook, key steps in the implementation of e-enabled elections”, was presented. This handbook should assist governments and organisations in their considerations whether or not to conduct e-voting pilot schemes or to make e-voting a feature of their electoral system. .
