PRESENTATION
In different parts of the world, the election to choose the government is not fair due to various reasons, such as rampant corruption, geopolitical conflicts and lack of awareness about the impact of it. Voting in a democracy is one of the greatest tools to assert your right in the development and progress of the country.
But given the cases of the corrupt voting system in many parts of the world, it seems that the process of the current system is not working in the right direction. Online voting has a variety of problems and hence it cannot be adopted in many countries. THE few of the problems in the mainstream adoption of the online voting are mentioned below.
Elections are critical to the success of the democracy and hence the adopting the system that has the high risk of failure is not something that many countries would like to try
Elections are complex and do not have any global standards
They are highly regulated and not only in the government but in private bodies too
The solution to all these problems has to be found to bring the innovation in the process of voting mechanism. Do you think a solution is possible where transparent and reliable voting system is possible?
Solution offered
VOTEM is presenting the solution for the transparent voting by creating CastIron platform, which is also available on the mobile. They believe in the four keywords of the voting and that are verifiability, accessibility, security and transparency. The CastIron mobile platform is 100% verifiable, fault tolerant, unalterable and auditable. The proof of Vote (PoV) will enable the VAST to create trust among people and candidates. Based on the blockchain technology VAST Token is utilised on the platform for the voters and candidates.
Contest and various other features of the platform are utilised through the VAST Token. A few of the features of the VAST Tokens are mentioned below.
Contest creation and Voter registration
Ballot Marking and Ballot Storage
Tabulate the action, reporting and auditing of the votes
The platform offers a variety of features and a few of them are Voter verification, Voter anonymity, Ballot Encryption, Ballot Styling and Ballot Decryption etc. They have presented a unique platform which can be utilised by any government and private body.
Vast Token
VAST Tokens are created for the project and the public sale starts after two days. The funds will be utilised in the development of the platform. Tokens can be bought by the organisation and Private Investors. The team believes that blockchain technology can redefine the Voting mechanism of the world.
The VAST Token is an EIP-20 (formerly ERC-20) compliant digital token issued by Votem Corp and is named after the four critical elements of a voting system (Verifiability, Accessibility, Security, Transparency). The VAST Token, akin to a perpetual software license, is designed to improve the efficacy of voting events for both private and public elections by allowing an individual or organization secure access to the CastIron platform and its features to successfully operate elections.
The number of tokens required will be defined by the number of potential voters as well as the verifiability and security features needed. Once tokens are purchased, they can be used for any number of elections, but only for one election at a time. VAST Tokens will support a range of validation requirements and role-based functionality for different elections as not all elections require the same levels of technical complexity nor human validation as others.
VAST Token Standard Functionality
Upon launch of the Platform and subsequent Token Distribution Event, VAST Tokens will provide access and operate on the “CastIron” blockchain based mobile voting platform. The baseline functionality of the Votem platform, casting and storing votes on the blockchain, will require at least 1 (one) VAST Token per ballot to be processed.
The VAST Token will provide secure and role-based access to the following standard features on the VAST Platform (shown in blue to the right):
Contest (Election) Creation & Set-Up
Voter Registration
Simple Ballot Creation & Marking
Ballot Submission/Validation/Storage
Tallying and Results Reporting (with Audit Capabilities)

Conclusion
The people living in different parts of the world in different kinds of conditions believe in the common theme of humanity. But how do we choose to live in a country and how do we choose to be ruled is entirely in our hands. In a country, various Association Bodies and Organisations conduct various election each year which requires capital and manpower, and if it does not go as per plan then it has to be reconstructed.
VOTEM is presenting the solution which can be easily applied in an election, where people are involved and it is easy to use and Implement. You can vote by downloading the mobile platform for voting in the particular election.
The election is not only crucial but a sign of development and trust in the government selected, and if the government is chosen by the faulty system then it erodes the trust of the people in the system. The transparency and trust of the people are the key characteristics of any voting structure and if VOTEM is able to achieve that, then it will be one of the most famous platforms in the world.
The power of blockchain technology is ready to bring fundamental change in the process of voting. We must be ready to adopt the system in our current voting mechanism.
