==In popular culture==
In the 2006 film [[Man of the Year (2006 film)|''Man of the Year'']] starring [[Robin Williams]], the character played by Williams—a comedic host of political talk show—wins the election for President of the United States when a software error in the electronic voting machines produced by the fictional manufacturer Delacroy causes votes to be tallied inaccurately.

In ''Runoff'', a 2007 novel by [[Mark Coggins]], a surprising showing by the [[Green Party (United States)|Green Party]] candidate in a [[San Francisco Mayor|San Francisco Mayoral election]] forces a [[Two-round system|runoff]] between him and the highly favored establishment candidate—a plot line that closely parallels the actual results of the 2003 election. When the private-eye protagonist of the book investigates at the behest of a powerful Chinatown businesswoman, he determines that the outcome was rigged by someone who defeated the security on the city's newly installed e-voting system.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.januarymagazine.com/crfiction/runoff.html |title=January Magazine, "The Fix Is In" |publisher=Januarymagazine.com |access-date=24 May 2010 |archive-date=29 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129163222/http://www.januarymagazine.com/crfiction/runoff.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

"[[Hacking Democracy]]" is a 2006 documentary film shown on [[HBO]]. Filmed over three years, it documents American citizens investigating anomalies and irregularities with electronic voting systems that occurred during America's 2000 and 2004 elections, especially in [[Volusia County, Florida]]. The film investigates the flawed integrity of electronic voting machines, particularly those made by [[Diebold Election Systems]] and culminates in the hacking of a [[Diebold]] election system in [[Leon County, Florida]].

The central conflict in the [[Massively multiplayer online game|MMO]] video game [[Infantry (video game)|Infantry]] resulted from the global institution of [[direct democracy]] through the use of personal voting devices sometime in the 22nd century AD. The practice gave rise to a 'voting class' of citizens composed mostly of homemakers and retirees who tended to be at home all day. Because they had the most free time to participate in voting, their opinions ultimately came to dominate politics.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.freeinfantry.com/history1/infantry/ |title=Infantry Archive, 'The Collective Era' |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no-byline.--> |website=freeinfantry.com |access-date=21 September 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170103154939/http://www.freeinfantry.com/history1/infantry/ |archive-date=3 January 2017 }}</ref>
