    Assessing the Impact of E-Voting Technologies on Electoral Outcomes: an Analysis of Buenos Aires’ 2005 Congressional Election
    (Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Katz, Gabriel; Alvarez, R. Michael; Calvo, Ernesto; Escolar, Marcelo; Pomares, Julia
    Using data from an e-voting experiment conducted in the 2005 Congressional Election in Argentina, we estimate the effect of different e-voting technologies on the likelihood that citizens cast their vote for different parties for the National Congress and the Legislature of Buenos Aires. Our results indicate that voters are extremely receptive to the information cues provided by the different voting technologies and associated ballot designs, and that particular voting devices have a significant impact on voter choice, systematically favouring some parties to the detriment of others. We conclude that the choice of alternative electronic voting devices might have considerable effect on electoral outcomes in multi-party electoral systems.

    The implementation of e-voting in Latin America: the experience of salta, Argentina from a practitioner's perspective
    (5th International Conference on Electronic Voting 2012 (EVOTE2012), 2012) Mirau, Guillermo Lopez; Ovejero, Teresa; Pomares, Julia
    The most important implementation of e-voting in Argentina so far took place in the province of Salta, in the north of the country on the border with Bolivia. With an electoral roll of 850,000 voters that is ethnically diverse and a complex electoral geography due to a high percentage of mountainous area, its implementation is very valuable for a comparative analysis. The gradual implementation allowed for a systematic assessment, conducted by a large survey of voters and poll workers, who had used both voting methods (the traditional one and the new voting system). This paper presents this case study, emphasizing the goals pursued by this reform as well as some findings from this large undertaking. It concludes by documenting the lessons learned and examining the challenges ahead.
