The elector may want to vote with the mCitizen app. Do the committees have a tool for verifying specified a individual and his document? Will it be a simple eye check?
In particular, the Commission has the anticipation of visual scrutiny, which should not be underestimated. At the top of the interface, under mID there should be a changing time and a wavering, nonstatic flag. Underneath is simply a hologram with changing colour intensity. These elements give what the associate of the committee sees on the voter's telephone screen, authenticity – and I think it is adequate control. However, if it is not sufficient, the committee may, in case of doubt, address the department of population records. All the commissions have phones to the offices in the territory where they can verify the electoral data before they issue him a ballot card.
Are the committee members even expecting voters with specified an e-document?
Yeah. I know that young people frequently don't carry things like IDs on them, for the most crucial thing in their pocket erstwhile they treat the phone. Many youths usage these applications, although it is besides worth taking a photo, name and surname. Only after the election will it be revealed how many people utilized this technology, and so how much it played in the election process.
And any possible irregularities could affect the election process?
I think it will be alternatively a insignificant problem, without real impact on the election process and the validity of the elections. I myself, conducting training for committee members, felt them to check the authenticity of the e-IDs shown to them. I think they are prepared for this and their thoroughness will not let abuse.
Recently there have been alleged phishing attacks on accounts in the mCitizen strategy – i.e. based on taking over accounts in the application. Could these and another threats be a problem in the upcoming elections?
Unfortunately, anything is possible, including specified attacks. Invariably, the committee may verify any individual wishing to identify himself with specified a document. In addition to contacting the registry department, a committee associate may require another identity paper to be presented to him if he doubts any doubt. This should be adequate to safeguard itself against a vast majority of possible abuses.
