The ability to vote is an essential part of Democracy. The election process should be reliable, secure and organized to motivate voters to participate in the election process. The process itself requires a great amount of resources allocation. This paper argues that online voting may play important role on enhancing efficiency, convenience, participation and reducing human\/financial resources needed for the election process in developing countries. In this paper, we consider Kingdom of Jordan as a case study. This paper examines Jordan's initiatives (ICTs and e-Government) to study the challenges and difficulties to have ability to adopt online voting in the Kingdom.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijskd.2014070103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,23]],"date-time":"2015-03-23T14:53:36Z","timestamp":1427122416000},"page":"45-59","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Challenges to the Successful Implementation of Online Voting for E-Democracy in Developing Countries' Initiatives"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Ahmad","family":"Al-Khasawneh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Information Systems Department, The Hashemite University, Zarqa, Jordan"}]},{"given":"Randa","family":"Obeidallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Information Systems Department, The Hashemite University, Zarqa, Jordan"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"ijskd.2014070103-0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5121\/ijmit.2013.5401"},{"key":"ijskd.2014070103-1","unstructured":"Al-Dahuod, A., Jayousi, R., Villalba, L., & Abbas, C.
