The United Kingdom's Department of Constitutional Affairs (DCA) has launched electronic voting pilot projects at 16 localities in May 2006, but will not try network voting, whether by internet, e-mail, text message, or digital TV, over fears of security. The DCA has no plans to use such technologies in local elections in 2006, nor does it have any timetable for when such projects might begin. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister had been planning trials of SMS and internet voting in 2006, but these plans were canceled once the DCA took over electoral modernization.
