Not too long ago I was focused on the "future" of the Interent and 
elections (everything but the actual voting).  The questions I 
pondered were:

    1. How must the Internet (and ICTs like mobile tech) be used to 
    support better election processes and informed voting?

    2. What content and services must be online for an election process 
    be declared free and fair?

Here is a blog post about it:
