Feasibility study on the Internet voting in Lithuania
The Central Electoral Committee of Lithuania commissioned a feasibility study to assess the risks and limitations in introducing Internet voting in the Lithuanian elections.
Civitta Lithuania in cooperation with eGA experts drafted the feasibility study for the introduction of Internet Voting in Lithuania.
The results of the study were presented to the Electoral Commission and later to the Parliament of Lithuania in June 2024. The main message of the report was that the implementation of an i-voting project in Lithuania is possible. However it is a political decision where possible risks in election management have to be considered and facilitated. These risks include the contentious geopolitical situation and the potential loss of electoral legitimacy in the event of a cyber-attack, as well as the public’s deemed lack of trust in authorities and information systems due to misinformation.
Additionally, technological risks include the possibility of future insecurity of voting data, even with the most advanced ballot encryption technologies (e.g. Through the emergence of quantum technologies).
A market survey carried out during the study showed that the development, implementation and maintenance of an i-voting system from 2025 to 2038 would cost the state about 20 million euros. The report recommends acquiring a system already existing abroad and adapting it to Lithuania’s needs.
