Voatz defines “mobile voting” as the ability to vote using a native application installed on a smartphone device. The purpose of using smartphone applications is to leverage the advanced security mechanisms built into smart devices, including biometrics and mobile threat defense, among others.
Others have previously classified voting on a web browser from a mobile device as “mobile voting”; however, because web browsers are unable to provide the same degree of security, votes cast this way should be classified as “internet voting”.
