Electronic voting was used for the first time in the recent regional leadership election of the Chilean Journalists Association to choose their national representatives.
E-voting was introduced to increase the typically low voter participation among members and simplify the voting process for busy journalists. Just like regular voting, e-voting was divided into two choices: one for choosing the national president and the other to choose a national councilor.
Members who were in good standing were able to use the electronic voting system.
