● SAFER CYBERSPACE I-VOTING: 20 years of progress The local government elections in October 2025 will mark the 20th anniversary of i-voting in Estonia. L ast year’s Estonian election for the European Parliament went smoothly. The voting process, including internet voting and vote verification, functioned as expected, without any disruptions. Cyber activity during the election week was relatively quiet – no attacks were detected against election systems. Although some web browsers initially flagged the voter application’s executable file as malware at the start of election week, this 54 issue was quickly resolved thanks to effective collaboration with Google. The i-voting platform’s reliability was further confirmed by record voter engagement with the verification app: nearly 10% of i-voters checked that their vote had reached RIA’s collection server, which is the highest rate to date. The more voters verify their votes, the more certainty election organisers have that the system and voters’ devices are uncompromised. CYBER SECURITY IN ESTONIA 2025
