More voter participation through online elections?
The turnout at this year's federal election was shockingly low, and has reached a new low. So this was only 70.8%. This is an alarming value when you consider that in 2005 only 77% were also in the elections. Time for comparison, 1972 was the participation at an impressive 91% ! After that, the curve was practically only a tailspin and find a new low this year. I find it quite sad when I reason like "Tired" or "Why should I go to vote?" Hear. In my opinion it is a democratic duty to go for election .
But what helps? How can you go uphill again, voter turnout? Now the idea has emerged in online elections. So it shall be soon with the browser, the party can click on the election and cast as his voice. According to a recent survey by the BITKOM would have 20% of non-voters made their voice online. This corresponds to an increase in voter turnout by 6 percent. So we would come to about 76% voter turnout, but this is still very low. This is only a theoretical value. One could also cite the online petitions as an example. The investment in this platform is increasing day by day. If you have a few months ago struggled to get the required 50,000 signatures together, so it is no longer a problem these days to crack a brisantem on the hurdle. Not quite innocent are Web 2.0 services like Twitter or Facebook , which can spread in a very short messages.
However, the online elections also bring risks: So you could theoretically crack the password of another citizen, and thus influence the choice. Or to hack instantly into the database of choice and change the outcome at will. It would have practically a protection to be created. One way would be: With the election map, obtained by mail, you also get a key that is in the ballot. Will you then vote online, so you could do this by stating the Personalausweißnummer as well as the key. The combination of these two long strings would be virtually unbreakable. Where else could you say, that nothing is impossible and must be granted this possibility is not wholly safety. In addition, the election, stating the Personalausweißnummer is no longer anonymous.
A difficult subject so. Or what do you think? Parchment paper or digital?

Online elections, I think that makes free. Why have you been well described. And even that is almost unbreakable, unbreakable. Also, it would need only to crack the server and then the data herraus find the voters. For The Identification number on the ballot and the persons must be stored somewhere in there. Combine the two (as the name in the address automatically from the ballot Nich is difficult) and is also already taken the hurdle for crackers.
Another approach would be the policy itself should finally make poulär again. Not without reason there were so many early voters.
The Present Wahlpogramm each Partein had some very lame. No wonder the Horst Schlämmer would have done so well ... I bet if he could have chosen more select During gone.
Unfortunately, the choice is Atracktivität of times and worse times to be monotonous.
One example is the Aufgeseten Faces, the politicians at election posters. Researchers and analysts from posters who know how to bring it to the man were in a report (already few days ago) asked how to do it right. In an animate street, many posters were then OPlakate a fictitious party was symbolized by a hung Redaktörin. Passers-out and used them set up a device that controls the eye wherever it looks. FDP has garnered great despite not look yellow. For Merkel, there were more. The fictitious party was seen in each poster. And in the rush hour traffic when driving a car. Imagine the question where our tax dollars go to such posters at the end of the Parties in finance (for funded at 1%!)
Conclusion:
For me, clearly the policy itself is to blame the voter turnout is so low. Because it offers nothing more, no inova functions, etc. This should be further promoted with a Pordukt update (for the egg phone).

Gorsi Hey, thanks for your Comment, and for the warm words!
The problem is simple and that the parties have not yet arrived in the online campaign. One reason is that our society is more and more with the "evil Internet" will just have to do anything. No wonder, the power always presented as a service of the criminals can do where you just child pornography, songs and other illegal things. This is the true potential of this powerful innovation always hidden. And that's too bad.
For the next election I hope in any case, more innovation and a more exciting campaign.
