"Following Estonia's lead Estonia is currently the only country in the world that relies on internet voting in a significant way for legally-binding national elections. The system was first introduced in 2005 for local elections, and was subsequently used in the 2007, 2011 and 2015 parliamentary elections, with the proportion of voters using this voting method rising from 5.5 per cent to 24.3 per cent to 30.5 per cent respectively. London-based software firm Smartmatic and Estonian IT company Cybernetica worked to develop the electronic voting system used by the Estonian Electoral Commission. Michael Summers, commercial director of Smartmatic, is confident that a similar system could be rolled out in the UK ahead of the 2020 general election."
