the trials have ended because, said the government, voters' fears about their votes becoming public could undermine democratic processes.
...
the trials did not boost turnout also led to the experiment ending.
...
the poor results from the last two experiments had convinced the government to stop spending money on more trials.
...
The 2013 trial was also controversial because immediately prior to the election, criticism was levelled at the encryption scheme used to protect votes being sent across the net.
