Campaign aims to enable grassroots action

At What Cost?' is a campaign against the introduction of electronic voting in Ireland. We make use of the opportunities provided by the internet to raise awareness of the issue and to provide tools and information that enable individuals to campaign on a local level.
Our goals are to:
- raise awareness of electronic voting, and the serious issues associated with it, amongst the public;
- provide resources online to support campaign activities and encourage and facilitate local action on this issue;
- co-ordinate mass action protesting electronic voting.

Voting is central to our democratic structures. Because of this, the concerns raised by computer scientists and others in relation to the need for a paper audit trail must be taken seriously - instead of being dismissed out of hand as the government is doing.

Additionally, there are dangers in adopting any system that will necessarily be dominated by experts, forcing lay persons to leave oversight of this democratic institution in the hands of these experts.
