Negara (Antara Bali) - The electronic election or e-voting held at Mendoyo Dangin Tukad village in Bali Province on Monday can hopefully be developed on a wider scale, expert staff of the Research and Technology Ministry Wayan Budiastra said.

"In the future, we hope this election model can be developed for district head, mayor, and gubernatorial elections," he said while attending the village head election at the village.

Budiastra said the e-voting system has several advantages compared with the manual system. "Not only is the system cheap but also it meets the honest, fair, direct, general, free and secret principles," he said.

He did not deny that many people doubt about the system or worry about the results of elections which could be controlled so that the election winner could be arranged.

"I should like to affirm that nobody can control the system developed by BPPT (the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology) to decide who will win elections," he added. (*/M038)
