During the course students are going to learn about the main prerequisites for the evolution of e-government, how does a typical e-voter look like, how fast do people vote online and how is it related to their age. The course will also examine whether e-voting is politically biased, how costs are related to the decision to vote and whether vote verification has increased trust towards e-voting.
