| Description | Eager to reverse a history of low voter turnout, the little-known King Conservation District is holding the largest online election ever conducted by a public agency in the United States.
One million voters are eligible to cast ballots over the Internet from their home computers in the supervisor election that started last week and ends March 15. Registered voters in all of King County are eligible to participate, except for those in Federal Way, Enumclaw and three smaller cities.
To some observers, it's a bold leap into a future that younger voters are yearning for. To others, it's a misguided and dangerous outsourcing of vote-counting. |
