Online youth parliament elections boost voter turnout
Youth councils represent the interests of young people at the local level and are usually elected every two years. More and more municipalities have started conducting their youth parliament elections online. For good reasons.
In youth parliament elections, the voter turnout can be increased significantly online.
As 'Digital Natives', the youngsters already manage many things online. From social networks and online banking, online voting is only the next natural step. Accordingly, earlier surveys have shown that about 65 percent of young voters (18 - 29 years) would vote online if they had the chance.

Election management with high privacy and data protection
The youth council is organised by the relevant communities in the municipality, e.g. by the commissioner for youth work. These youth representatives have access to the register of residents (usually without e-mail addresses) and have to comply with all standards of maintaining data protection. We understand that and have therefore developed a solution for the electoral roll.
The electoral roll will also remain with you when conducting an online election, and you have to authorise any access to the personal data to external parties. Therefore, you only send a list of anonymous personal characteristics (e.g. date of birth) and a serial number to POLYAS. We create the corresponding security key and send you the login information for further distribution to your youth electorate.
Secure authentication of voters
Voters sign in with their password (here: the date of birth) and the password (security key) to the online voting system. In this way, we ensure that only authorised persons can vote and no double voting is possible. In this way, you are not required to pass on any data of the population register and thus ensure the highest privacy standards in your voter communication.
