Electronic voting for deciding a conference/meeting venue is fine, but anything involving governance over a large body of people is a strict no-no.

Reason: if other nation states are interested in tampering with the election, they can easily do it with the amount of resources they have. Paper vote is a distributed system which is very hard to tamper AT SCALE.
