Comment: How did I vote with an electronic ID card? The commission was not happy about it

As I recently tried to prove this to a police patrol, who was looking at the display in confusion, only to write down her name by hand, I was waiting to see if I would have a similar experience at the elections.

In short, you have to try it. I prepared by purposefully leaving my ID card at home so that I wouldn’t fail at the commission. And feeling like a rebel without a cause, he entered the door of a nearby elementary school.

As soon as I started pulling my phone out of my pocket in front of the Election Commission, especially the senior members (almost all of them) raised their eyebrows. Only the chairman has a reader on his mobile phone, so he will approach you, read the code from your phone, after which the necessary data, including a photo, will be displayed to him.

He then hands his cell phone to the committee member in charge of your street. And he’s already acting like he’s holding an old plastic card. At this point, other people who would also need to identify themselves electronically cannot vote and must wait.

The commission expressed itself a bit skeptically in the sense that what if there were ten of us here at once, what if it didn’t work and if I had a normal citizen’s card with me. I replied that the grandmother (I took a similarly equipped family with me) waiting behind me also had an electronic one.

It would definitely benefit if every member had a reader in their mobile phone, which is, of course, hard to imagine for typical participants. So at least the commission didn’t get bored, but if the members aren’t similar tech enthusiasts, it’s just more complicated for them.
