The Estonian E-Voting Laws Discourse: Paradigmatic Benchmarking for Central and Eastern Europe

چکیده
The Republic of Estonia has been, and still is, widely credited to be a pioneer in e-governance and especially e-democracy, with headlines such as “Estonia: 10 Years from Communism to Advanced eDemocracy!” It had frequently been expected, too, that Estonia would be the leading country for evoting, introducing it already for the national elections this year. However, in the very last changes of the respective laws, the Estonian Parliament voted for e-voting, not for the immediate future, but only with a delay of implementation until the year 2005. Still, the Estonian is the first case world-wide of a country that has actually passed overall e-voting laws.
