Alle sechs Jahre werden in Deutschland per Briefwahl Vertreter gewählt, die sich in Gremien der gesetzlichen Krankenkassen und der Rentenversicherung für die Interessen der Sozialversicherten einsetzen. Dieses Prinzip der Selbstverwaltung des deutschen Sozialversicherungssystems besteht seit dem 19. Jahrhundert. Doch die Sozialversicherungswahlen befinden sich seit längerem in der Krise: Sie verfügen über eine geringe Bekanntheit und eine niedrige Wahlbeteiligung bei proportional großem Aufwand und hohen Kosten.

We base our discussion on empirical data to address the question whether e-voting can enhance opportunities for participation.... view less
