So-called "silver surfers" are responsible for most of the demand for an e-voting pilot in Shrewsbury and Atcham, it has emerged.
Borough council officials said more than 800 people had utilised the telephone and internet services so far, the majority of them being older voters.
Gareth Owens, deputy returning officer for the borough, said 638 people had already voted in the local elections over the internet and 191 others by telephone.
"The popularity of the process is great to see," he said. "We really welcome the fact that people find the alternative methods of voting more convenient and are choosing to use them.
"Many people believe that electronic voting will appeal more to younger people.
"This time around we have been asking people for their date of birth as part of the security arrangements, and we have found that it is actually older voters who are using the system most.
