One usage of blockchain technology is for voting yet the majority still doesn't use blockchain technology during elections.

Quote

"Indias citizens will soon be able to cast votes from outside their city of registration thanks to a blockchain-based system."

Every election, we encounter some citizens who don't vote because of their reasons. It's either they don't want any candidate or they can't vote because they're living far from the voting places.

Quote

"The commissioner said that regulators are collaborating with the Indian Institute of Technology to develop a blockchain system that would allow citizens to vote remotely."

This can help those who have a problem with the distance from their house to the voting place and it's also a way to prevent multiple votings.

The plan of using blockchain technology in voting is to make it more convenient for others and to make it fraud-proof. During elections, we can really see a lot of things happening, especially for those candidates who really want to win so they will manipulate the result. But with blockchain, it will be hard for them to change and manipulate it. With this, we can achieve more transparency when it comes to the votes.

As a concerned citizen, I know what my country is facing, and I feel bad for our situation because those who don't deserve to be in the position are sitting prettily in their thrones. I really think that the different governments should try exploring this technology to help them because it will totally make things easier and more accurate than the usual system where they can cheat. The government shouldn't be afraid of trying it unless they want to manipulate the results.

Blockchain can be used in various field and one of that is voting. Although voting is one of blockchain's main usage, not everyone knew nor even aware of it. That's why further practices and studies should be done so they can maximize the use of blockchain technology. Just like what I have said, with this technology, it'll be easier to collect votes and it can't be easily manipulated by someone. I only have limited knowledge about the use-cases of blockchain and I still studying it.

This was a great idea and must be apply to every country. As we can observe, this was a common issue today. When the election comes, we can hear issues about manipulation of votes and this was hard to avoid because sometimes the people involved are the ones who are in the government. With blockchain technology we can probably avoid these problems and can result to a fair election.

indeed we must have breakthroughs such as the blockchain used for elections, because from experience, when the election is closed and followed by a quick count, justrupara candidates claim to win, and when the official results are announced the losing camp claims cheating, I think this is confiscating time, energy and of course cost. even a country can split
