Proponen ts argue that cellphone voting could increase voter turnout\, and voting from the comfort of your mobile phone sounds easy\, right? But is it re ally a good idea? \;\n \;\nBefore giving this technology a stamp o f approval\, we need to consider some of the issues around the process o f electronic voting. For example\, is it secure? Does it protect voter p rivacy? And how would we verify election results? \;\n \;\nDr. Ste phanie Singer and Sheila Golden have been focused on election systems fo r many years. Ms. Golden is well known in Oregon for her advocacy around election technology\, while Dr. Singer is known nationwide for her expe rtise on election technology and processes. They'll join us this month t o explore the pros and cons of voting via cellphone and will explain how such a system would work\, who's behind the effort to adopt mobile voti ng\, and why voting from our phones may or may not be a good course of a ction. \;\n \;\nBring your questions\, and come learn how you can make your voice heard on this issue! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via Meet up or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n& #13\;\nSpeaker bios: \;\n \;\nSheila Golden is an activist focusin g on election integrity\, civil liberties/immigrant rights\, and climate justice.
