There was an interesting new post at Swissinfo:
Swiss Post has suspended its e-voting system effectively spelling the end of the online trials with the current technology for the October parliamentary elections.
The state-owned company said it took the decision after the government announced last week that it will drop plans to introduce e-voting as an official voting channel for the time being.
However, Swiss Post pledged to develop a new, updated version with universal verifiability available from 2020, according to statement external link on Friday.
The current system of Swiss Post has been in use in four cantons on a trial basis, notably the registered expat Swiss community living around the world.
Last month, a rival system developed by canton Geneva and used by three other cantons, was also withdrawn with immediate effect.
