Scytl to Help UAE Hold First Fully Digital Elections

Scytl, a leader in online voting and electoral modernisation, has won a contract to facilitate online voting in the national elections to the Federal National Council of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). According to the contract signed between the company and the Ministry of State for Federal National Council Affairs (MFNCA), Scytl will contribute to the UAE becoming the first country in the world to hold an entirely digital election.

For the first time, the country will introduce online voting so that citizens can exercise their right to vote from any device with an internet connection. This also includes Emiratis who are outside the country during the election, with online voting replacing traditional paper-voting methods.
