[fvc-wat-disc] City of Markham and Internet voting?

[Bob Jonkman]

    I just came across this notice at
    http://papervotecanada.blogspot.com/2011/10/city-of-markhams-internet-voting-story.html


I thought perhaps there might be some interest on this list in one 
municipality's take on Internet voting...

        City of Markham's Internet voting story at GTEC 2011

    GTEC conference, October 19, 2011 from 10:00 to 11:00

    Using Digital Technology to Connect with Citizens in the Town of Markham

    Given the apparent decrease in voter engagement, Canadian
    governments are faced with seeking innovative ways to connect with
    the public. When used strategically, digital technologies are an
    effective means to engage citizens. Through the use of Internet
    voting and the implementation of multiple interactive online
    initiatives, the Town of Markham has become a leader in eDemocracy.
    In this session attendees will hear from the Mayor of Markham, the
    visionary behind Markham’s innovative use of digital technologies to
    engage citizens, as well as the CEO of Delvinia, the firm behind the
    initiatives and the only organization to collect consumer data on
    Internet voting in three consecutive elections.

    *Speaker* - Frank Scarpitti, Mayor, Town of Markham
    *Co-presenter* - Adam Froman, CEO, Delvinia
