'Daily Voting News' For May 04, 2009
The recent international flavor of the Daily Voting News continues today. India also wrestles with questions of voter ID and accessibility for people with disabilities. In the Philippines, the bidding to a single vendor for the Election Automation Process, touted to make future Philippine elections “fraud-proof”, began today.
Rest assured not everything is international news; there are domestic election stories as well.
