>>Electronic ballots do have issues.

In Western Democracies that use the 'Australian' (secret) system, the challenges surround keeping an individual's private choice private - and resistance to manipulation / ability to recount. It's fairly intractable without everyone having their own cryptographic public/private key pair, the same for balloting stations - and paper ballots as a means of entering the votes (ballots securely stored for potential recounts). Doing this without balloting stations is an interesting (in the sense of being intractable) problem.

However, a centralized electronic voting system is *perfect* for authoritarian regimes, where ballots are public and the point is to convince voters (I'd have said citizens but they're clearly not that) that the exercise is pointless - unless there's a day off or something like free vodka involved.
