Abstract :
Democracies need elections for choosing their authorities and governments. This process has many factors that shape today´s procedures. However, the Internet is a medium that may change the possibilities and elections. The main issue is concern on how changes may influence the whole democratic process. This paper shows two possible ideas - that of bidirectional voting and continuous voting, and considers possible reasons for introducing changes as well as the consequences. An introductory research in into this matter gives additional hints.
