They are working on the development of a telematic voting system based on blockchain technology, which would make electoral fraud or manipulation of the results impossible or almost impossible.

Electoral processes, as we know them, could change in the coming years thanks to blockchain technology. Work has been done on several occasions in telematic voting systems for elections that are safe and inviolable, something that had not been achieved, but through a blockchain voting system, this could be achieved, since once the vote has been cast , this vote will be completely unalterable and any authorized user will be able to see the voting direction of that specific person.

Through a blockchain system, voters can cast the vote without leaving home, simply from their smartphone or computer, using these terminals to register a non-alterable blockchain chain and that will also be used to verify the voting results. Jamie Skella, Co-Founder of Horizon State, one of the companies that are developing these systems, explains that they are developing better tools and better decision-making processes, so that democratic results are reliable and can be done with great ease, even if we are not in the country.

'Democracy is the opportunity to share the decision-making processes that relate to the shared issues that affect us. Democracy is about reaching a consensus on how to best use our shared resources to achieve the best results for our partners, children and citizens. Where there are shared resources, in any cooperative environment, there is no doubt: we need better tools and shared decision-making processes. '

It is a great advance, since it will not matter if we are outside our city or the country, we can vote from anywhere on the planet with just a click of the mouse or a couple of presses on our smartphone. This will also encourage many more people to vote. What is your opinion?
