Briefings

A new electronic voting system in Bosnia eliminated the ability to cast votes for deceased or absent voters, resulting in a record-low turnout. This outcome mirrors a previous election cycle where the same parties won despite similar technological constraints, suggesting the result remains unchanged. The system prevents casting votes for those who are dead or absent, which is a significant change from prior methods.

Key points

• A new electronic voting system in Bosnia eliminated the ability to cast votes for deceased or absent voters, leading to a record-low turnout.
• The same parties won the election despite the new technology, indicating the result remains unchanged from previous cycles.

Context and limitations

The evidence is limited to a single election cycle; the long-term impact of the new technology on voter behavior remains unknown.
