Millions of people have not the faintest idea what on line means.
My mother in law for one.
She is going to be greatly inconvenienced soon anyway. The govt are introducing photo ID in 2023 as a requirement to vote in person.

I didn’t mean replacing ballot boxes with only online voting, simply adding online to the current system.

That could only increase turnout.
