Actually it's been implemented as far as I know:

[2]Japanese City Trials Blockchain Voting for Social Development Programs

[3]Sierra Leone Uses Blockchain To Track Election Results

[4]US: West Virginia Completes First Blockchain-Supported State Elections

For sure those progressive countries are already looking at this options. Not to save money but to make it more transparent to its electorate. On the other hand, there are those who opposes it, saying that we're getting totally dependent on the Internet. It's still a long way to go, but I guess its inevitable and we might see governments around the world slowly injecting it on their electoral process.

What a nice research that yout have. If this is actually true then this might just start a new era of voting online. I just don't know what are limitations to these or how could it differ from the usual method of election in tems of securing the anonymity of the vote but one thing is for certain it is something new and worth the try. I think security may not be that much of a concern since it is encrypted.
