Specifically, for the first time, the country will introduce online
voting so that voters can exercise their right to vote from any
device with an Internet connection. This also includes Emiratis who
are outside the country during the election, with online voting
replacing traditional paper-voting methods.
This system will be combined with in-person internet voting at
polling stations through electronic voting kiosks, a digital
channel that the country has used in previous elections.
The CEO of Scytl, Raoul Roverato, recalled that "this is the fourth
time that the country has entrusted us with its elections to the
Federal National Council and, although for Scytl it has always been
an exciting project, this year it is even more so because of the
milestone it represents in the history of governmental elections:
the first fully digital process. We are proud to help this country
become the first to hold an all-digital election with our
technology, and also to set a precedent for other countries to
modernize and follow in the UAE's lead."
Online Voting Platform with Facial Recognition
For this important milestone, Scytl will be responsible for
providing the electoral technology necessary for the optimal
development of the elections. In this sense, it will launch an
online platform from which Emiratis can elect members to the
Federal National Council from any device with an Internet
connection. It is a secure, efficient, and intuitive channel, where
the voter can authenticate themself with facial recognition.
Additionally, the firm will deploy its internet voting technology
with the strictest security measures throughout 24 polling stations
in the seven emirates, guaranteeing voters total privacy and
secrecy when casting their vote.
