Seattle Introduces
Smartphone Voting System Over 1.2 million residents in
Seattle's King County will be
able to vote via their smartphones. This type of voting process is
a first for elections in the U.S. It is already being used in a
current election concerning
a board of supervisors. The election started on January 22
and will last until February 11. To vote, residents must provide their names and birthdays in a web portal. They must also provide signatures, which can be verified since voting in Washington is done through mail. Paper copies of electronic votes will also be counted for the election. King County director of elections Julie Wise says the
mobile system makes it easier for people to vote. Julie Wise, via statement
