Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the electronic and paper-based voting systems that are used in Belgium. It compares the advantages and disadvantages of these systems, and presents a selection of voting systems that have been recommended to the federal and regional governments for future elections in Belgium: an improved paper-based voting system with voter-verifiable paper trails, a family of optical scanning systems, a remote/Internet voting system, and a kiosk/intranet voting system.
