Voting can already be done at http://www.bitpools.com
Voting on a crypto network is not a novelty, the bitcoin network can be used for voting, as can many other cryptocoin networks; voting isn't enough, your platform is not suitable for running an entire government system off of. We aren't just talking about voting, we're talking about the entire government, ran and automated on this distributed cryptographic network. Your platform would have to be many factors more robust in order for this to work.

While it is certainly not robust enough for running a huge government, the fundamentals are there. I am starting small on purpose.

However it is not set up for running government the way we know it today. BitPools would allow for the ability to run as the "government" of a Galts Gulch type of city where there is no centralized authority but people still want to pool their money for city projects and have sway over how their money is spent through proposals and votes.

Similar to governments but with control over your money.
