Imagine a scenario where a state is considering implementing a new electronic voting system that incorporates advanced cybersecurity measures.

Your task is to analyze the potential impacts of adopting this new electronic voting system. Discuss how this decision may affect voter participation, public trust in the electoral process, and the role of the state government in ensuring fair elections.
