Based on the smart card technology, an electronic voting system named SmartVote has been successfully developed by the CSC and is now available for use inside the CityU. On request, the CSC will help set up PCs with smart card readers at the venue of voting. Upon verification of the eligibility to vote by reading the staff/student CityU ID card, an eligible voter can simply fill in the electronic ballot form through the Web-based application and cast his/her vote right away.

Besides being an accurate, convenient and quick means for voting, SmartVote can also save time and manpower as the voting result is available right after the voting period is over. It is suitable for most types of elections, such as Staff Consultative Committee election, Students’ Union election, etc.

If your department is interested in using the system, please contact Mr. K Y Chow at ext. 7452 for details.
