The ethereum blockchain is gradually gaining much traction, and that is even much greater news when you realise that it is also gaining real life uses every single passing day. The City of Zug in Switzerland has been one of the main promoters of blockchain and it’s integration into real life. The city is planning to pilot a voting system that will run entirely on blockchain; both the polling system and the voters’ IDs.

What is presently known as “e-voting”, will be between the 25th day of this month July till the first of July, a seven day period. The project is part of what the city views as part of a much larger scheme to implement blockchain technology.
