Still, despite the growing international experience, the harmonization of electronic voting systems with the legal and statutory frameworks poses a number of major legal, social and implementation challenges, subject to the national environment. This paper presents an overview of legal and social aspects of an electronic voting system focusing on the case of Greece. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. ER -
