Have you voted today?

This post is like a ideas put in the bottle and thrown in the sea.
Polls are around the corner. We live in the biggest democracy of the world and to make it work in its true sense we should vote. IDC, my design school, I am proud to say, was instrumental in designing the electronic voting machine.
Today we need a ad-push like Jaago-re or we need people coming down to our doorsteps to create that necessary stir that is a driving force if the things got to change.
Through 'jaago-re', I understand one can register on web, provide ID proof and residence proof and automatically your old voting card gets cancelled and new one gets delivered at the given address. For the mobile population like us, who like to throw empty rhetorics from the AC cabins of IT companies and post blogs filled with angst (like this one), who are 'supposed' to be worried about the running the nation than any other guy on the street, such convenience of 'getting hold' of voting card is not enough. We want more.
Here are some ways to make voting a faster, secure, cheap and all-inclusive.
1. Make voting machines talk to server in real time (if it is not already), if tampered with will black list all the entries uploaded.
2. Use ATM machines as a means of voting or online authentication followed by a voting interface. Since postal ballot is allowed for 'army bhaiyon' ko, then we might as well adapt the new ways of picking options. (Can a government body rent out / ask for already existing privately owned infrastructure by raising the issue of national forum and cooperation / participation?)
3. Mobile banks concept is picking up fast to connect the last mile 'the grassroot', so this can act as polling booth in villages as well where ATMs are not there.
4.Telephone based interface for authentication and voting. So one can start with any proof like PAN, DL, Passport, and land into the voting options. This sounds like a best option since today the connectivity is snowballing and Poll can be another prime mover to this 'telephony based economy'
5. The issue of lack of secrecy and possibility of coercion is significant in all the above discussed options, I agree, but some work around can be found and such thing evolve on its own if let develop. Atleast the chances of coercion is far more if the people are made to wait in a que in the scrotching heat where a free distribution of cold-drink can also sway the lesser minds. I am not trying to over-simplify but atleast the next poll should be far different than this one in its intrumentation is what I want.
6. how about social softwares to facilitate the voting or a quick app on facebook/orkut? May be tehre is quick links to party manifesto and 'whats there for me' comes filtered based on your demographics. Assume I login to facebook and decide to vote, it says, this party is offering tax reliefs, while this one is notching up the reform expenditures, etc... and I would be rational enough to vote with a reason than becoming a victim of tailered propaganda.
