A youth parliament is involved in planning projects in communities and city councils to represent the interests of children and young people.<\/p>\n<p>The city\u00a0deliberately\u00a0opted\u00a0to rely solely on\u00a0the online option in order\u00a0to keep the costs of the election\u00a0as low as possible. The election supervisor regarded\u00a0the automated and secure ballot-counting as a particular advantage\u00a0of an\u00a0online election: The POLYAS election software guaranteed the correct count of votes\u00a0within the shortest possible time and disenabled\u00a0double voting.<\/p>\n<p>Through the online election, the electoral\u00a0officer also did not need to hire electoral\u00a0workers and could therefore reduce the costs of the election considerably.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltymfqmc-a7e66dfd12d3c3a0f73a2f3629a0358f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Cost effective and convenient online voting<\/h2>\n<p>By opting for an online election, the city of Buchholz could reduce\u00a0costs.

The margin of error &#8220;caused by humans&#8221; could be reduced to a minimum, because an online election is not dependent on postal services or the availability of personnel.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the online youth parliamentary election is\u00a0a practical and safe election form which\u00a0went smoothly for the German city Buchholz.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/local-authorities\/youth-parliament-elections\/online\">Learn more about the benefits of online youth parliamentary elections for your community!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltymg7xp-b78053bb5458bc6df78350d079a20a72 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Online voting is attractive to young voters<\/h2>\n<p>With the introduction of\u00a0online voting, the city Buchholz adapts to the user behavior of its young voters and presents itself as a forward-looking city in an increasingly digital world.
