But the city is against using internet voting
If you live in St. Catharines and choose to vote in next year's municipal election, you'll see vote tabulators if voting in person.
That was city council's vote this week, which also included avoiding internet voting, many councillors concerned about security and hackers.
Councillor Mark Stevens expressed frustration at low voter turnout. "However, times are changing, and one of these days we're going to have to go to internet voting. As I think of the youth out there, they do everything on their telephones, their cell phones, so somehow it's going to have to work."
Mayor Mat Siscoe pointed to internet unreliability, especially as more people doubt election results.
Councillor Greg Miller is for internet voting. "Where a quarter of people, or less, are voting, which is an afront to democracy. Again, I think we need to do everything we can, I think internet voting does that, I think the vast majority of municipalities in Ontario are already doing it."
Some councillors did not like the additional $325,000 price tag for internet voting.
