Key steps towards electoral modernisation

Public engagement, convenience and confidence in the electoral system are the key themes of the Government's responses to The Electoral Commission's reports Voting for change: an electoral law modernisation programme and Delivering democracy? The future of postal voting. Our responses to these reports were jointly published on 9 December by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and the Department of Constitutional Affairs.

continuing through their news release of Dec. 9, 2004 Government responses to The Electoral comission reports

In responding, the Government has reaffirmed its goal of multi-channelled elections, a vision shared with the Commission, as the way to offer voters the choice they want about how they can cast their votes.

(emphasis mine)
The jargon "multi-channelled elections" means voting on paper, electronic, cellphone, television, whatever.
