Elections and Teleconference Technology


In recent years, teleconference technology has made great strides and poses great possibilities for those who would like to use them to their full range of possibilities. Elections at the local, state, and national level could be made even more effective if the use of teleconference meetings were employed. Candidates could use teleconferences over the web to hold whatever programs they want to hold and voting could take place right in your home through the use of teleconferences.

Important Teleconference Use for Candidates

Instead of holding a rally at a local spot in a community or village there is the possibility to hold a virtual web conference when using teleconference technology. Let's face it: if teleconference technology were used to this extent there would be important implications for local, state, and national elections.

As mentioned, candidates are now able to use web teleconference technology in whatever manner they see fit. Whether any major candidates ever do use teleconferencing software is another matter, but the fact of the matter is that it is readily available so that all supporters of the candidates can even participate.

Even though there are great benefits that could come from teleconference technology being used in the election process, it has still yet to make its debut. Candidates are not conducting virtual rallies and people are not able to vote through teleconference meetings and software.

Another way in which teleconference software has not made its debut yet is through voting in elections. Today, elections are still largely conducted in a regular building, such as a church or school, and people mark their ballots using a pen, pencil, or other ballot-marking tool. Using a teleconference to conducts voting sessions not only would save paper, but it would be a whole lot quicker and more instantaneous than it is currently being conducted.
