E-voting: possibilities and challenges for its implementation in Mexico

Technological advances have brought with them multiple changes, particularly because information systems are more inclusive, reaching any part of the world. The use of the Internet has boosted the flow of information on a large scale to levels never seen before. Democracy is no stranger to these changes, since the new technologies force to modernize and innovate the form of citizen participation in elections, opening the possibility that the vote can also be cast electronically.
