Apart from the security issues, there's not much evidence that digital voting would mean people are more likely to vote. It's not voting being hard that puts people off, it's feeling alienated from the system.
Oh I think you'll see an increase. It's not hard. But it's not hard to go for a walk yet people struggle. Remove obstacles and you'll get better penetration.
It's 2023. We can vote online. We don't need paper votes
