“Every disadvantage has its advantage” — Robert Green Ingersoll.

E-voting and e-ticketing have become efficient tools in today’s fast-changing technology landscape, and many businesses and organizations have adopted them to speed up their processes. While our previous post highlighted the advantages of these technological breakthroughs, it’s equally important to recognize the challenges. This post will examine the difficulties associated with electronic voting and e-ticketing and offer workable solutions.

DISADVANTAGES OF E-VOTING AND E-TICKETING AND THEIR SOLUTIONS

1. SECURITY RISKS

E-voting and e-ticketing systems are vulnerable to numerous security threats, including cyber-attacks and data breaches, as they involve sensitive data collection and transmission, such as personal information and votes.

SOLUTION: SECURITY IMPROVEMENT
Increasing system security is essential for safeguarding against these security dangers. It entails strong security safeguards like encryption, multiple-factor authentication, and frequent security assessments. In addition, companies must create thorough data recovery strategies to quickly respond to breaches and protect critical data and the system.

2. ACCESSIBILITY

The systems may not be available and accessible to all due to lack of internet connectivity, insufficient funds, digital illiteracy, and physical impairments. Though some physically disabled users can access the systems personally, not all can.

SOLUTION: ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
Addressing challenges for accessibility of online voting and online ticketing, it must offer alternative avenues for participation. It is done by launching instructional programs and providing extreme technical assistance to those who are having trouble. Efforts to expand internet coverage and reduce the cost of system access can further enhance inclusivity.

3. HIGH COST

The implementation system demands and might only be feasible for some organizations. This cost incurred from the investment of the systems includes hiring technical expertise to run the systems and buying the software and the hardware for the operation.

SOLUTION: COST BENEFIT-ANALYSIS
Complete a thorough cost-benefit analysis before moving forward with system adoption. Through this approach, businesses may balance costs and possible benefits to make wise financial decisions.

With the right approach, e-voting and ticketing can be secure, accessible, and cost-effective, providing a range of advantages to users and organizations.
