Feasible Mobile Voting: Contextualised Interpretation of the Prospects and Difficulties in an International Tertiary Institution

The place of mobile devices in elections at tertiary institutions is quite a recent development in most places. However, it is about time we established the extent of feasibility, scientifically speaking, of such a technologically-driven practice. By evoking the mixed methods approach, via the lens of the doctrinal principle of hermeneutics this study largely dwells on the key conceptualizations of security, trustworthiness, voter turnout and queuing to flesh out the implications of the feasibility of such a technological innovation. Per the findings, mobile voting holds much promise for campus politics or democracy in spite of perceptibly enduring security concerns. The paper concludes by encouraging further studies on a broader scale to establish the feasibility of mobile voting in national elections.
