  1. Election technology can, without any doubt, transform the voting process that is why it should be enhanced to improve the quality of the voting process. So when you argue as to the ways by which inclusive practice increases equality and diversity, it makes quite a lot of sense to state that when it comes to the adoption of technology in the explain how inclusive practice promotes equality and supports diversity there is representation of all groups and that equality is observed in that no groups is left out when they are being enrolled at the bench. It can substantially improve the fairness of the elections and involve various groups of the population more actively.
