National registrar of Colombia Carlos Ariel Sanchez has stated that the implementation of electronic voting in Colombia will be a secure process shielded against fraud. “Don´t let the corrupt believe there is an Electoral Disneyland, since we created shields against fraud,” Sanchez asserted.
One of the anti-fraud mechanisms the system will incorporate is the results of the census published in 2008, which data has been carefully revised and cleansed and provides the information about all the eligible citizens to vote.
He also made emphasis on the importance of candidate registration, where “an online application form has been created to quickly verify the registered candidates and present them to all citizens.”
