Abstract

<p>This article argues the introduction of internet voting in Estonia as a political outcome in which nationalist and liberal political parties played key roles, and the nation-wide ID system with post-Soviet context was important. The re-voting scheme as an anti-coercion/vote buying measure was politicized in the process of amendments of the election laws, and experienced two presidential vetos and a judicial review. The rationale behind this political drama involving legislature, executive, and judiciary sectors was respective political parties’vote-maximization incentives. This article demonstrates political processes how and why the internet voting was introduced in Estonia, with parliament stenographic records, interviews, and press reports at the time.</p>
