More details
Despite the well known problems with e-voting and e-counting the government is pressing ahead with pilots during May 2007 local elections.
To make sure that we get a true picture of how the pilots are run, we need people on the ground in every local authority where pilots will be held.
Electronic voting will be piloted in: Rushmoor, Sheffield, Shrewsbury & Atcham, South Bucks and Swindon.
Electronic counting will be piloted in: Bedford, Breckland, Dover, South Bucks, Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Warwick District Council
