I believe there will be a divided planet soon. States Crypto and BTC Friendly and those against. I think we will see a huge influx of populations incoming to the Crypto Friendly countries. Maybe we will see a migration of Europeans tricking into the African Subcontinent to set up business like days of old?

That's quite the interesting thought!

Also, the voting system is all on paper and manual procedures.

that is actually a good thing

You may want to put forth arguments supporting that view. I assume you're looking into it from a data security viewpoint?

I'm more looking into it from a viewpoint of society and use of resources.

Today there are hundreds if not thousands of public buldings that welcome the voters. Very many voters go by car, doing a trip they otherwise would not do. This makes for lost leisure time and increased emissions. At the same time, there's a lot of man hours wasted, and probably also lots of money wasted, that a team of a few highly skilled programmers could solve.

A system with strong cryptography and high security where people could vote from their homes, that's what should be the ideal, if you ask me. Today there exist a page called norge.no where people can do a lot of stuff online. They have to log in, and they only get access through proving their identity. So there's nothing wrong about voting taking place at the same place.

Electronic voting would save a lot of time for everybody, and is the only right thing to do in such a modern age as we're in today. Still in my opinion.
