A series of recent meetings have brought together in Washington, DC and Los Angeles a group of Swiss and American officials to discuss the topic of e-voting. The meetings, involving representatives of governmental and academic communities from both countries, were part of ThinkSwiss, a US-wide program that was already described on this blog.

During a first meeting at the Committee of House Administration -- the committee of the US House of representatives in charge of overseeing the federal elections -- the Swiss federal Chancellor Annemarie Huber-Hotz presented the Swiss e-voting initiative, which was introduced six years ago.
