%X 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.
