It’s 13 years since electronic voting was introduced to GAA congresses.
Coming after the most unwieldy gathering in Newcastle, Co Down in April 2010 when there were no less than 123 motions and each of those put to the floor were subject to a show of hands and decided by either a count of them or acclaim, the technology transformed procedures that had become antiquated.
