Clarification Washington. The electronic voter register was fine - people were successfully identified through it (please note that all voting was manual - on a piece of paper that was manually counted). Its the tallying system that I was referring to.

Am not so sure that the system was a success. Over one third of polling stations failed to transmit electronically for various reasons including poor network (5,964 failed of a total of 20,750 polling stations). This would be chaos for a general election.


Being the first time it was used on a very large scale, almost a replica of a general election, I think they have done very well. They now have the information required to fine tune the system for the GE. 

I had expected to vote electronically, but it appears that only the registration was electronic, where I registered, but I am not complaining.
