Estonia went to the polls over the weekend in Parliamentary elections, and seem to have returned the incumbent coalition to power. Meanwhile, according to the detailed results on Wikipedia, the conservative Union of Pro Patria and Res Publica, in government until 2005, got thoroughly caned at the polls, seeing the 35 seats previously held by its constituent parties shrink to 19.
The most interesting feature of the elections however is the use of remote internet voting - people can vote from home at their computers, rather than going in to a polling booth. This is made possible by the widespread use of chipped ID cards, which act as a unique identifier and log-in for the voting system. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any real protection against the real problem of electronic voting: lack of transparency and verifiability.
