Going to the polls and casting your vote could be only a click away in the next federal by-election, according to Elections Canada.
A recent proposal stated the possibility of allowing people to vote online, while continuing to use the traditional means of ballot boxes, in future elections.
Millions of Canadians trust the Internet with banking information, E.I. payments and filing income tax, so relocating our democratic nation online isn't a surprise.
While I see the need to conduct various routes for voters who normally fail to make it to their local ballot booths on Election Day, conducting and controlling virtual "votes" through the World Wide Web seems perilous.
