Institute a system for voting online and on mobile devices

Created by J.S. on March 20, 2015

In the 2014 midterm elections, voter turnout was the lowest it had been since WWII, merely 36%. Part of the reason why turnout was so low is because voting has become such an inconvenience for full-time working Americans.

In order to increase voter turnout, the government must remove the hassle of voting by combining it with the technology of the 21st century.

I propose that the Obama administration commission a website with an online, national voter database, so Americans would be able to register, authenticate and even submit their ballots online. Also, the Obama administration should partner with a software company, such as Google, in order to bring this new voting system to mobile devices.
