Paragraph 70
 

In addition, for non-supervised e-enabled voting, technical standards must overcome different threats to those which exist for postal voting. This form of voting must only be accepted if it is secure and reliable. In particular, the elector must be able to obtain confirmation of his or her vote and, if necessary, correct it without the secrecy of the ballot being in any way violated. The system’s transparency must be guaranteed. Insofar as an e-enabled voting system meets these conditions, it is compatible with the European standards on electoral matters, and in particular with Article 3 of Protocol 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights.
