Accra, Ghana - Martim Mayer, a candidate for the upcoming Benfica elections, has raised concerns regarding the potential implementation of electronic voting (e-voting). He has publicly acknowledged Multicert's involvement in overseeing the electoral process but expressed surprise at the lack of explicit mention of e-voting in official communications.
Mayer Seeks Clarification on E-Voting Prospects
Mayer has indicated his intention to seek further clarification from José Pereira da Costa, the president of Benfica, on the matter. He plans to request Multicert's presence at the General Assembly to address specific questions from club members regarding the possibility and preparedness for e-voting.
According to Mayer, Multicert, a company belonging to the SIBS group, has been preparing for the possibility of e-voting. This information contrasts with the official communication, which primarily focuses on the organization of physical voting and the electoral register.
Importance of E-Voting Discussion
The candidate believes that a comprehensive discussion about e-voting is crucial for ensuring transparency and accessibility in the Benfica elections. He aims to understand the reasons behind the apparent omission of e-voting from the initial announcements and to ascertain Multicert's readiness to handle such a process.
- Mayer praises Multicert's involvement in ensuring the auditability of the electoral process.
- He questions why there's no mention of e-voting, despite Multicert's reported preparations.
- Mayer intends to address these concerns directly with Benfica's president and Multicert representatives.
This development adds another layer of intrigue to the Benfica elections, as the debate surrounding e-voting gains momentum. Whether or not e-voting will be implemented remains to be seen, but Mayer's vocal concerns have undoubtedly brought the issue to the forefront.
