E-VOTING AND ACCREDITATION
Abstract
This study examines the role of e-voting and electronic accreditation systems in modern electoral processes. With increasing concerns about electoral fraud, inefficiency, and lack of transparency, the adoption of digital technologies has become a significant reform strategy. The research focuses on how e-voting and accreditation systems enhance voter verification, reduce irregularities, and improve the credibility of elections. A descriptive research design was adopted, utilizing questionnaires and secondary data sources. The findings indicate that electronic accreditation significantly reduces cases of multiple voting and impersonation, while e-voting improves speed and accuracy in vote counting. However, challenges such as technical failures, cybersecurity risks, and limited digital literacy persist. The study concludes that effective implementation of these technologies can strengthen democratic processes when supported by adequate infrastructure and policy frameworks.
