The thesis addresses the current issue of low voter participation and explores the
potential of implementation of remote electronic voting as an alternative to solving this
problem. The research focuses on the youngest age group, individuals between the
ages of 18 and 29.
To investigate the interest of young people in remote electronic voting in Slovenia, a
questionnaire was used, while the theoretical framework was supported by the analysis
of academic sources, such as professional articles, reports, scientific papers, etc.
The main findings of the survey show a positive attitude among young people towards
online voting. Most are attracted to it because of its independence from time and place.
However, regarding the level of confidence in the security of the online voting system,
opinions are more diverse, but most would trust such a system. Overall, the research
indicates, that the interest in remote electronic voting is high according to the analyzed
data.
The survey contributes to understanding young people's interest in remote electronic
elections and understanding their attitude towards this type of voting. It also provides
an insight into the current situation and trends in remote electronic elections in
Slovenia. The results can serve as a basis for further research as well as for measures
to encourage turnout among young people.
