description: Using data from an e-voting experiment conducted in the 2005  Congressional Election in Argentina, we estimate the effect of different e-voting  technologies on the likelihood that citizens cast their vote for different parties for  the National Congress and the Legislature of Buenos Aires. Our results indicate  that voters are extremely receptive to the information cues provided by the  different voting technologies and associated ballot designs, and that particular  voting devices have a significant impact on voter choice, systematically favouring  some parties to the detriment of others. We conclude that the choice of alternative  electronic voting devices might have considerable effect on electoral outcomes in  multi-party electoral systems.
