If you’ve followed the news, you might know that last sunday (22nd) was the first turn of the elections in France.
We followed the news on internet and had voted ourselves through our parents, but it was fun to see how the estonian news reported the event. They showed all our candidates, and talked about the arrival of electronic voting machines which have been put in place for the first time in some cities.
Now, in France, the interesting thing is that they have been mentioning Estonia ! Why ? Because Estonia was the first country to use a voting system through the internet. Indeed, though the country is small, it is in the constitution that each citizen has the right to access to the world of information which is offered by internet…
So, for those who would like to know more about how the estonian elections went on (March 4th 2007), here is a short video about it…
My god, a Mac, is it possible? Certainly, grand mother’s one, no doubt about it ! Thank you euronews, your accent is perfectly comprehensible. As we did, estonian people seems to need a third party to compose a majority. Good luck to both sides! Jean-Marie
