Electoral Commission rebuffs GLA plans for e-counting | Technology | guardian.co.uk:

The Electoral Commission has strongly criticised plans by the Greater London Authority's chief executive Leo Boland to push ahead with electronic counting in its 2012 elections, based on the GLA's internal cost-benefit analysis that shows e-counting would cost 40% more than a manual count.

In a response published today on its website (PDF), to an analysis that was published by the GLA in June, the commission says it is 'concerned ... that the advantages of e-counting may have been overstated'.
