Abstract

Electronic voting has become important in Mexico, since there have been studies for inclusion in the voting in Mexico. This paper presents an analysis of reliability and the use of technology in this process, its social and economic implication was performed. The population were Mexican voters, using opinion surveys applied by the Center for Social Studies and Public Opinion of the Chamber of Deputies. Being the sample of 1,400 voters with an average age of 38 years, and the proportion of men and women was the same. Among the most important results it stands out that the majority of respondents have a valid electoral ID card, and believes that electronic voting is easier to manipulate the results, but if this was used, voting would be considered more reliable in person through electronic voting machines installed in suitable locations.
