For the first time, the country will introduce online voting in its elections to the Federal National Council so that voters can vote from any device. This also includes Emiratis outside the country. The online voting system will be combined with in-person internet voting at polling stations through electronic voting kiosks, a digital channel that the United Arab Emirates has been using since 2006. The online voting platform will have a facial recognition authentication system.
