KUANTAN: Using an online voting system may be possible for elections in the future but there are other issues that must be resolved first, says Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.
He said this proposal had been debated before and had been brought up again during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"Online voting has been used in campus elections. Even then I am not sure that it has been implemented at all campuses. "To me, it is still too early to start using an online voting system. The first thing that has to be looked into is security," Saifuddin said after attending the MYNICCARES and Yayasan Pahang corporate social responsibility programme here Saturday .
Saifuddin added that a chief concern should such a system be implemented was to ensure fraud could be prevented."The priority for me is to improve the existing system. For example, we have not even solved the cleaning up of the electoral roll yet. "There will come a time when online voting becomes practical but it must fulfil several pre-conditions first," he said."There are several things that have to be resolved first. I do not discount the possibility but I do not see it being done at this moment," he said, adding that there was no chance it could be implemented in the 15th General Election.
