On 7 June, the French resident in Africa and America were invited to elect councilors who represent them in the French Abroad Assembly. Approximately 9% of voters have expressed their choice by Internet, an option now available for all french citizens living abroad, following the publication of an official decree.

Estonia was the only EU country to allow Internet voting for the European Parliament elections, last June 7. Over than 58 000 voters used e-voting, which is 15% of all the people who voted. The e-voting system has been in Estonia under development since 2002 with the final pilot held at the end of 2004. It has been several times presented at the World eDemocracy Forum. In 2005 the system was used for the first time for local government council elections. In 2007, for the first time in the world it was possible in Estonia to vote online also in parliamentary elections.

Since Monday 18 May at 08:00, the 1st legally binding electronic election in Austrian history went online. The Austrian Federal Student Union is being elected during this week via a remote electronic channel. Next week from May 26 to May 28 an ordinary, paper based voting channel will be opened to ensure. The paper and the electronic votes will be counted on the 28th and hence the results should be available in the evening.

Citizens in Geneva (Switzerland) will be able to take part in cantonal and local ballots online instead of going to the polls or posting their ballot sheet. With more than 70 % in favour, voters decided, last February 8, to enshrine electronic voting in the constitution – making Geneva the first of Switzerland's 26 cantons to do so.

Robert Hensler, Chancellor of the Geneva Government said the result showed the popular support for e-voting, which will be introduced in 2010. The cantonal government and parliament said e-voting would help increase turnout and help Swiss expatriates to make their voices heard in political decisions. Trials with online voting have taken place since six years in the Geneva region, as well as in two other cantons. On a national level the authorities are planning further tests until 2011 with up to ten per cent of the electorate. The Organisation of the Swiss Abroad, representing about 700,000 Swiss expatriates, has been promoting the introduction of e-voting.

Paradoxically, says the swiss journalist Frédéric Julliard, things are now serious. We have to consider in the future law legitimate doubts to technical incomprehensible to most people. "Caution and patience are the best allies of Internet voting. The generalization should be step by step, continuously improving the technical processes. That is the price that e-voting could fulfill its most important role: promote participation in the democratic process, especially among young people."

Estonian Parliament has approved a law making Estonia the first country to allow voting by mobile phone. Lawmakers approved a measure, last December 11, allowing citizens to vote by mobile phone in the next parliamentary elections in 2011. Estonians were allowed to cast Internet ballots in last year's parliamentary vote.

For the third time since 2002, the inhabitants of Issy (Paris, France) elected their representatives to the District Councils via Internet, from 1 to 8 December. Extelia, a subsidiary compagny of La Poste, was chosen by tender to organize an election 100% full web.

Most New Zealanders are unlikely to be able to vote online in general elections till at least 2023, under a proposal being considered by Justice Minister Annette King.

Though NZ started, but 2023 is too lazy a period to quote.

Whereas the Belgian Parliament must soon deliver an opinion on the proposals of Minister of  Interior Patrick Dewael for an improvement of e-voting by machine (a system of confirmation paper of electronically voted), the Unions of the cities do not have a joint position. Whereas the Flemish union is favorable to the maintenance of e-voting, the Walloon Union has more moderated position.

The Ministry of the Interior in the Netherlands decided not to adopt electronic voting machines. The decision was made after reviewing extensive research which indicated that none of the available machines offered adequate privacy and security safeguards.
