ATTITUDES OF YOUNG PEOPLE TOWARDS ELECTRONIC VOTING

Dragolјub Pilipović, Želјko Gavrić

Abstract


Every state structure can be seen as a service to citizens, including e-government. That is why one such service will be described - the electronic voting service. Electronic voting (abbreviated e-voting) is one of the forms of remote voting that is primarily used in political elections. E-voting is reflected in the use of at least one electronic device for the service. Each e-voting system has its requirements, characteristics, and features, but the perception of its users - voters is also important. This paper examines the effect of socio-demographic factors (such as gender, age, faculty, and field to which the faculty belongs) on the readiness of young people to use e-voting in elections. Sociological research to date has shown that young people are among the leading strata of society in terms of their willingness to take advantage of the new ICTs, including e-voting. In that sense, we will try to determine the attitudes of young people towards e-voting on the example of young people, students at all faculties and departments of one university, and whether is there a regularity or connection between some socio-demographic factors and attitudes towards e-voting.
