E-voting opens for the first time for Swiss abroad ahead of a referendum on September 27. - swissinfo:

Under a scheme adopted in canton Geneva around 15,600 Swiss abroad are eligible to vote online from Friday for the first time on the two issues of disability insurance and public education.

The e-vote ends on September 26. A questionnaire will be sent to users after the vote to find out how the option is viewed.

The introduction of electronic voting for all Swiss citizens was given a boost in February when more than 70 per cent of voters in Geneva decided formally to enshrine electronic voting in the constitution, making it the first of Switzerland's 26 cantons to do so.
