For the first time ever, online voting has been made available to up to 50% of voters in cantons using Scytl´s and Swiss Post´s online voting solution. To date these cantons include Neuchâtel, Fribourg, Basel-Stadt and Thurgau.
Until the recent certification, the online voting solutions approved in Switzerland were authorized for only 30% of the voting population. In order to increase the percentage of voters allowed to cast their vote electronically, the Swiss Federal Chancellery has established a set of strict and stringent guidelines that online voting solutions need to comply with.
