Abstract

This chapter introduces Taiwan’s first VAA—iVoter, including its application and ongoing development. The name iVoter is intended to refer to “I vote,” “informed vote,” “intelligent vote,” and “internet vote.” This system was first used for the 2012 eighth term Legislative Yuan elections. From October 2011, when the iVoter site officially went online, until 2012, 1,400 people became iVoter members and completed issue position diagnostic registration, while over 40,000 people (from different IP addresses) have visited the website.
