In October 2005, the population of Estonia had for the first time the opportunity to participate in the local government elections via internet without leaving home. When giving one's electronic vote, the voter had to identify himself/herself by means of his/her ID card. In the parliamentary elections in the spring of 2007 it was also possible to vote via the internet, and about 5% of voters took advantage of this opportunity. The e-voting system is gaining popularity.
