Abstract

Electronic voting is enjoying growing interest within the scientific community. However, the focus is on systems (algorithms, mathematical cryptographic models, user experience, reliability, traceability, security, etc.). Consequently, the purpose of this exploratory research on e-voting is not to address aspects that have already been well-studied by scientists, but rather to understand, through a qualitative research, bottlenecks and sociological obstacles. This understanding will help to explain the reasons that might prevent its adoption by Swiss citizens and also the dissemination of e-voting in the digital age. Based on 25 semi-directed interviews (in German, French and Italian) that we have analyzed, we are able to provide new insights that are more sociological than technological. These insights are essentially related to the social acceptance of e-voting. We observe in particular that the vote in Switzerland has an almost sacred dimension and that the trust that surrounds the voting “ritual” is of supreme importance.
