Sažetak
Voting through the internet (i-voting) should be a service through which governments enable their citizens to participate in decision making and establish greater democracy in society. This paper investigates the i-voting situation in EU and Croatia, as well as the attitude of student population towards i-voting. The first part of the paper relates to the application of i-voting in EU and Croatia, according to the implementation of i-voting, its problems and legislation. In the second part we present results from the initial research of attitudes among the student population at the Department of Economics, University of Zadar. The research was done with a questionnaire in respect to: participating in the election, advantages and disadvantages of i-voting, problems with ICT related to i-voting, reasons of the absence of i-voting in Croatia. Estonia is the first country which has implemented i-voting in the elections, whereas other countries are still testing it and resolving problems present in the implementation. Croatia still does not plan to implement i-voting and needs to consider strategic steps in this process. The research indicates insufficient information about i-voting among the student population. It is necessary to include topics from e-government in the education curriculum, i.e. in the subjects covering the field of Information science, in order to create education preconditions for the implementation of i-voting.
