Florida is one of the first states to actively pursue public-sector Internet voting. It is also involved with the Federal Voting Assistance Program's Internet voting project that will enable overseas military personnel to participate in the November 2000 presidential election via the Internet. First, it is a great opportunity to encourage young people to be aware and involved in the electoral process. Secondly, it provides county election officials a chance to explore Internet voting as an alternative voting method for future use. VoteHere.net s experience with numerous public sector online election tests qualifies the company as a capable partner for this exciting opportunity.
Young people are tomorrow s leaders.
Any way we can encourage them to become involved in the electoral process will benefit everyone. VoteHere.net president and CEO, Jim Adler, agrees. We are pleased to be involved with these Florida projects. With voter turnout of the younger population at such low levels, we must get students involved in the democratic process early. The Internet is a great way to reach out to them since it is already such an integral part of their lives.
