The results are in, and surprisingly the 2018 Grammy Award nominations for Album of the Year have a diverse pool of individuals which excludes White men. Indeed, the five candidates chosen include three people of color and a White woman. This marks the first time that White men have been excluded from the Album of the Year category since 1999. Some have even gone as far as to say that the year 1999 did in fact include White males in the Album of the Year category, since a band nominated at the time called Garbage had a lead singer that was a White female while the band’s other members were White men. Many have speculated that the cause for the Grammy’s change up was because of a switch to digital voting and revamp of the Grammy online platform. Grammy nominees have always been chosen by voting memebers, or to be more specific “music industry professionals who have creative or technical credits on at least six commercial tracks on a physical music release, or 12 on a digital album” (Deahl & Singleton, 2017, para. 2). The switch to online voting allowed more of the Grammy’s 13,000 member voting block to participate. Previously members dealt with paper voting, which would be a hassle for those on the road or out of the country. In the past, this awards ceremony has come under fire for not being diverse in its decisions about certain artists winning in a variety of categories. Most notably, there was an outcry last year when singer Adele won Album of the Year over the singer Beyonce. As was to be expected, there are mixed feelings about White men not being among the Album of the Year contestants this time around. Some have pointed to the fact that this, in fact, shows a lack of diversity, while others felt headlines highlighting the fact that White men aren’t included was unnecessary. However, Recording Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow reportedly told Billboard, a U.S. entertainment and media brand, that he was pleased. Portnow furthermore was quoted saying “[the nominations are] a wonderful reflection on our organization and how relevant and in touch and savvy are voting members are.” References Deahl, D., & Singleton, M. (2017, November 28). Thanks to online voting, The Grammy’s Album of the Year nominees are the most diverse ever.

Bihar Becomes The Second Indian State after Gujarat to Introduce eVoting

Indian citizens have been demanding the right to vote online for many years now. Non-Resident Indians and other citizens have even moved to the Supreme Court demanding the right to vote online. The Supreme Court has asked the government and the Election Commission to find solutions for these non-resident voters to be able to vote.

However, to date, the government has not shown real initiative. Politicians make a lot of noise about the need to adopt advanced technology, but when it comes to the election, they want to go back to primitive paper-based voting as it is easier to manipulate.

Recently, Bihar announced that the Bihar State Election Commission (BSEC) is introducing online voting via a mobile app in the municiple elections. The news has created a lot of excitement in the media and among the citizens. This is an amazing initiative by BSEC, and they should be applauded for it.

Right focus – EASE OF USE

The election commissions should focus on “EASE OF USE”.  Most bureaucrats have a mindset that citizens should do all we ask them to do. They do not appreciate the need to make the process easy for the citizens. Voters will drop out if the process is tedious. The goal of eVoting should be to increase voter turnout from the current 66% to more than 90%. That can be achieved only if we make the process of voting as easy as online banking.

Digital Voting Events

While everything today is turning digital, why not voting too?

Voting Portals were founded to revolutionize the online voting experience. They are set to provide a smooth voting experience and support possible.

So, how exactly do we change from a Live to a Digital Voting Event? This article addresses just that. 

What are Digital Voting Portals?

Digital voting portals are an all-in-one digital voting software platform. They allow users to vote online and are said to be the safest and dependable online voting service.  

These platforms allow administrators to run even the most difficult elections.

The Electronic Ballot on these portals allows you to manage questions easily. Online voting systems preserve the integrity of your decision by preventing voters from electing numerous times.

How to Change a Live Voting Event to Digital?

·  You establish an election by defining the dates, hours, and questions in a simple Election Manager.

·  You select a technique of voter authentication and provide a list of eligible voters.

·  Voters visit your customized voting website and verify their identification.

·  If the verification is successful, the registrant will be shown a list of any current elections.

·  When voting is completed, the results are instantly tallied.

·  The results, as well as other polling reports, may be viewed in the Election Manager.

However, are the new digital voting technologies enough to deliver the ballot box to the voting audience?

Live Vs. Digital Voting Events

You may be organizing elections in your town or producing surveys and polls. With both, you can use live or digital voting. However, the shift to digital voting is vital due to many reasons.

How do we differentiate between live and digital voting events?

Only participants who are physically present will be able to vote in real-time.  With digital voting events, software provide everyone an offline to cast their vote. That is especially during a pandemic.

Live Voting events have people voting from set-up kiosks at the venue. It usually makes the process very lengthy, with many in line to vote. With an online voting event, everything is regulated by one authority, and voting happens quickly.

It is harder to monitor voting and changes in certain questions posed with live voting events. The better side is that digital voting aids an authority to change necessary data but not manipulate it.

Do Digital Voting Events Provide the Same Security?

Voting Portals was built from the ground up to reduce the possibility of election rigging or violation of confidentiality.

Participants who pass identification or already have voted are refused access to the ballot. One vote per voter is ensured by designating electors as voted and saving the vote in a single transaction.

In light of the breakdown in Iowa, it's a good idea to take another look at attempts to make voting or vote counting easier.

When bureaucrats and politicians promise to make elections easier, they are NOT necessarily intending to make them simpler.

Digital technology might be useful for a lot of things; but any voting system which does not involve old school paper at the beginning of the process of voting is always going to be highly suspect.

Demand that your local election administrators include some sort of paper trail in the way votes are cast in your area.
