What Role Do Blockchain play in Voting and Election

In almost every field and works of life cryptocurrencies and blockchain technogy is gaining adoption and there is no field that it's not applicable and upon application do not fail to improve the system or process and if integrated in election and voting system has massive potential to improving this process, why is that.

Well blockchain technogy as we know is a hard technogy which isn't just appreciated for it's security but also for their very transparent nature and for this reason they have been considered to be even implemented in voting system and election with the hope it will provide some measure of transparency which most voting and elections in many countries do have.

Ofcourse we might wonder if really implantation of blockchain technology to voting and election could improve the process or not or if it could actually improve it to be much more better by offering a more stable, secured and transparent electoral process, so I will also discuss this which is if blockchain and cryptocurrencies were to be implemented in the world's electoral process and voting process ways in which it could greatly effect this system positively.

Ways Cryptocurrencies/Blockchain could Improve The Voting And Election Process

One way electoral process and voting could be improved upon by blockchain integration is in the area of security, the fact that blockchain is wholly secured by encryption means that if it was use in the recording of votes there won't arise any story and it will ensure the 100% guarantee that this information recorded which is number of votes will be safe and not tempered with or manipulated by anyone as it's common in most electoral process today, blockchain will ensure this data's are recorded in a very safe and secured manner.

Most times when people cast their votes is easily being manipulated and another person's vote is being given to someone else, if blockchain is implemented in this system it won't be so because the blockchain is decentralized making it secured and its transparent nature means that any vote that is casted by people is transparent and available to the public vetting which means nobody could fool anyone as everything will be clearly visible from the beginning to the end of the vote, their will be a some form of justice in this process.

Also because of the nature of blockchain technology there can't be manipulations by malicious people who wants to rig the election, issues of double-voting by users or even any other fraudulent activity won't be experienced and sometimes what we know as vote cancelation won't be mentioned again as integration of blockchain to electoral process will ensure the integrity and credibility of this process.

Voting becomes unchangeable, no one no matter the kind of hacker could alter or change information on the blockchain, which means the voters would trust the process more as they will know their votes really count and can't be changed by anyone which would make the whole process enjoyable for honest individuals and ensure people actually trust this process which could only be earned by blockchain integration and implementation in voting system today also blockchain in voting system will guarantee everyone could participate as long as there are citizens inrespective of where they are at the time.

Most times they are delays as to the counting of votes after the election and most times the longer this results take to be computed the more likely it's being manipulated especially in most corrupt countries, with the implementation of blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the voting and electoral process it will ensure this whole process is speed up it will generally ensure the efficient experience of this process in general.

Conclusion

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies has become like a solution to all man's need as is proven to be useful in any field they are applied to and most notably in the voting and electoral system where I believe it will help to reduce the high rate of election rigging and ensure for a more fairer process in implemented on the full which I don't know if it's possible maybe with time most or some countries may adopt this if they truly want a free and fair election.
