Online voting is likely to shape future election cycles, according to a study from OneLogin.

Digital voting might also assist during the pandemic as 26% of respondents indicated COVID-19 could impact their likelihood of voting in the general election this fall.

An online voting option could also boost voter turnout among minority groups: 55% of black and 54% of Hispanic voters said an online voting option would make them more likely to vote this fall, compared to 42% of whites.

Trust will be another hurdle, as voters are uncertain which group is the most trustworthy to manage and administer online voting.

Voting by mail: 1 in 3 rural voters have security concerns with voting by mail, compared to 1 in 4 from urban/suburban areas.
