The implications for developing countries which do not yet have the voting infrastructure that the United States has are even more dramatic and could prove a powerful instrument for the continuing spread of representative democracy.
Voting should be as easy as hopping online from home to pay bills from your checking account. In today’s digital age, we can do better. By using blockchain to make voting more convenient and secure, we will encourage more people to vote.
Voting began, in ancient Athens, by the “casting” of clay or metal tokens. Now, in the 21st century, we are observing the emergence of 21st century tokenization of voting: casting our ballots via blockchain technology.
Welcome to blockchain: the 21st century way of voting.
