Belgium, Brazil, Estonia – three visions of electronic voting

The text analyzes the expanding role of technology in democracy, focusing on electronic voting (e-voting). With technological development, various fields have begun to use new solutions, and the same has occurred with democracy, which in this context can be described as e-democracy, with e-voting forming an integral part of it. Despite its many positive assumptions, technology-based voting, as a relatively new phenomenon, is often perceived as unfamiliar, uncertain, or risky. The article presents the solutions adopted by Belgium, Brazil, and Estonia. These countries are at different stages of e-voting advancement, have adopted different technological approaches, and express differing views on e-voting. In addition to examining the e-voting methods themselves, the analysis also takes into account demographic factors and electoral regulations. As a result, the e-voting systems presented do not focus solely on technological solutions but instead offer a broader picture of the phenomenon.
