Vote In Your Pyjamas

According to yesterday's "Guardian", The government, in the shape of Harriet Harman's Department for Constitutional Affairs is reviving plans to allow us to vote in elections via the internet, despite fears about e-voting's vulnerability to coercion, sabotage and vote-rigging.

John Sills, the department's head of electoral policy, said: "The UK government is still committed to e-voting even though in recent years it has been somewhat put on hold. We will see more of it." He added: "I'm very much in favour of you voting in your pyjamas."
