Paper Abstract:	This article focuses on a challenging area of digital society, i.e. "electronic election". Lessons are learned from studying traditional approach to election within an organization responsible for forming trade councils of various industries via election among stakeholders. Accordingly, the strengths and weaknesses of the traditional election systems in a developing society are highlighted; consequently, the specifications of pure e-election, semi e-election and traditional elections are defined and three important driving forces of e-election in the real world are introduced. Considering standards developed for e-election prerequisites of e-election are introduced and two critical aspects, e-participation and e-infrastructure are discussed. Representing the demand and supply sides of e-election with e-participation and einfrastructure, we introduce a roadmap for transition from the conventional election to modern electronic where the dominant driving force is e-society realization. Then, the significance of using a managerial IT-based dashboard throughout the transition period is highlighted and several basic e-participation measures are proposed.
