Abstract Over the years, the opposition parties argued that the existing election system in Ethiopia has many problems during the election process and the outcome of actual results and it is not a kind of election system they can trust.  Whereas the government officials claimed it was fair and free election system. The integrity of the election process is fundamental to the integrity of democracy itself. Hence, electronic voting (e-Voting) is a newly popular method to cast ballots of an election using electronic devices. This scheme is deployed highly as a main election system in some countries and still others are using a hybrid system. However, there are countries like Ethiopia which adopt the manual election scheme for several years till now. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the perception of the government and opposition political parties towards the prospect of implementing e-voting scheme in the present context of Ethiopia.   Even though there are setbacks in implementing e-voting in the present political situation of Ethiopia. However, the benefits are deemed to be much useful. Therefore, it is in the hands of the public and the government to work in developing and adopting e-voting scheme in a way that is helpful for both stakeholders. This paper suggests the government and the oppositions should have a reasonable consensus and planned date for starting the campaign which gives the right for the people for free and fair election and the rise of new political arena.   Key words- e-voting, hybrid system, manual election scheme

Datorspelens  repetitiva  natur  medför  problem  för  skräckgenren.  Fiender  som  är skrämmande  mister  sin  slagkraft  när  spelarna  träffar  på  dem många gånger och vänjer     sig     vid     dem.     Detta     fenomen     har     mycket     gemensamt     med beteendevetenskapens  teorier  om  fobier.  Människor  lär  sig  att  vara  rädda  för någonting och utvecklar en fobi. Vid upprepade möten med fobiobjektet vänjer sig människor. Det finns dock forskning som visar att en förändring i kontexten under invänjningen kan leda till att denna hindras. Undersökningen syftade till att använda detta  som  en  lösning  på  problemet  med  upprepning.  Två  versioner  av  samma spelnivå  gjordes  och  spelades  av  två  grupper  testpersoner.  Den  ena  versionen ändrade  under  spelets  gång fiendernas beteende. Resultatet tydde på att versionen med  beteendeförändringar  hos  fienderna  upplevdes  som  mer  skrämmande.  Dock fanns  ett  antal  problem  med  undersökningen,  och  resultatet  kan  inte  ses  som tillförlitligt.  En framtida undersökning skulle behöva utökas på många sätt för att öka tillförlitligheten.
