INTRODUCTION Many developing countries did several steps to move towards democracy. Democracy in its simple definition is that people are able to participate in the political life to select their politicians who represent them in the politi- cal system (Choi, 2006). The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides an excellent opportunity for democracy by provid- ing several means for citizens to participate in the decision making such as e-forums, e-referenda, e-voting, and other forms of e-participation (Pippa, 2004). The most important one of these technologies is the e-voting where citizens vote for their candidates which considered the core part of the democracy process. For many years, the traditional voting method, which includes the use of ballot at polling centers or the use of postal mails, has been used for many years (Chaum et al., 2008; Hajjar et al., 2006; Stanica-Ezeanu, 2008). However, in the last few decades some countries utilized the ICT in the voting process and the electronic voting (e-voting) was introduced (Stanica-Ezeanu, 2008). The electronic voting includes the use of a computer rather than the traditional way of ballot at polling centers. E- Assessing Citizens Acceptance of Mobile Voting System in Developing Countries: The Case of Egypt Hany Abdelghaffar, German University in Cairo, Egypt Lina Galal, German University in Cairo, Egypt ABSTRACT In modern societies, information and communication technology is used to increase citizens’ participation in the democracy process.
