They reviewed the UAE's experience with electronic voting during the first elections to the Council in December 2006.
Mr. Lootah explained the mechanism and steps involved in the e-voting system. He also discussed the system's efficiency, ease of use, precision and speed, and its contribution to a fair and accurate election process. The system was a substantial improvement over traditional, complicated manual systems of voting, he added.
The e-voting system introduced in last year's elections is a measure of the comprehensive economic, social and technological development witnessed by the United Arab Emirates in recent years. It is also a hallmark of the UAE's evolution as a modern and progressive state since the creation of the Federation thirty five years ago.
