In 2014, nine Latin American countries will hold elections, and it seems that this year will include numerous pilot programs that will attempt to spread the use of electronic voting.
In El Salvador, for example, the election of the new president featured automated transmission of the results.
In Ecuador, after carrying out pilot tests in several regions, a fully automated voting system was introduced using touchscreens in San Antonio de los Tsáchilas.
Colombia, Panama and Peru will also carry out their own pilot tests in an effort to tweak the electronic voting system to suit their needs as sovereign countries, as can be seen in this article.
Finally, Brazil will continue using its modern electronic voting system, which has already reached the totality of its electoral roll. In recent years, the country has been slowly introducing the biometric ballot box, which enables them to guarantee the voter’s identity and eliminate fraud and errors.
