Voters in U.K. Cast Ballots Online, in Test for Internet Voting

The UK’s Conservative Party will offer internet voting for the first time as part of its leadership election. About 160,000 qualifying party members will receive a ballot pack in the mail that will include a paper mail-in ballot, as well as security codes to vote online.

The party used guidance from the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre to build its online voting system. Earlier this month, the NCSC warned against the Conservatives’ plans for online voting. As part of a revised process, the codes in ballot packs will expire as soon as they are used, meaning you can’t log back in. The winner of this election will be the UK’s next prime minister, so pretty high stakes.
