Canton Fribourg does not want e-voting for the time being

The canton of Fribourg still wants to wait with the introduction of e-voting, as the canton's Saatsrat writes in a press release. Since the technical and administrative complexity of the project has increased significantly, additional human and financial resources would be required for the canton. As the State Council writes, it prefers to use the available funds for digitization for other administrative services at the moment, for example for cooperation between the municipalities in the area of digitization.

However, it is convinced that e-voting meets a need of the population and that the voting channel will sooner or later become a "necessity of a modern democracy". As the State Council writes, the requirements in terms of additional human and financial resources have increased considerably, according to a statement.
