Should IACR hold electronic elections?

The IACR currently uses a paper-based remote-voting system (with double envelopes) for the election of members to its board of directors.

Should the IACR switch to an electronic voting system? What are the pros and cons of switching? And if we switch, what system should we use?

At the bottom of this page I attach an email correspondence regarding these questions. Please express your opinions on this page.

My main motivation is the desire to see non-trivial cryptography being implemented and used. I think that our field as a whole would benefit from more use of cryptography in the real world, and what better way to promote it than to use it ourselves. -- Shai
