[Cyber-security-tech-mw-l] Should Elections Be Classified as "Critical Infrastructure"?

[ICTAM Secretariat]

So why I brought topic was the reason that technology is changing everyday,
and key to things that happened in 2016 was the news went around all over
the world when the top intelligence organizations in USA submitted a
special report that says that the 2016 USA election results were influenced
by the Russian hacking. Now I am not suggesting that we should debate on
whether that was possible or not but  my point is if elections can be
hacked then somehow it brings the debate of whether they should be
considered a national critical infrastructure. We maybe not be handling our
elections electronically today, but surely Malawi will move with technology.


Thanks
