Global trends in digital voting and government services

Global trends in digital governance and electoral technology show varying implementations of electronic systems. In Brazil, research cited by the Regional Electoral Court of São Paulo (TRE-SP) indicates that at least 34 countries have utilized some form of electronic voting system in official processes, ranging from digital ballot boxes to remote internet voting.

In Portugal, the Gov.pt application has expanded its digital wallet capabilities for businesses. Users with an active business profile can now add automobile insurance directly to the app, eliminating the need for physical paper documents during inspections or accidents. This update is part of an ongoing government effort to centralize essential official documents within a single digital platform.
