Blockchain will allow remote voting process
Spain supports the expansion of blockchain projects for electoral processes not only in the country but in Latin America to open new roads to nations that have not yet adopted the advances of decentralized technology
Online voting is still a pending subject for many countries in the world, especially in Latin America. Despite the fact that in countries such as Argentina or Mexico, blockchain technology has been used in legislative elections or in educational centers, the road ahead is long.
Spain is one of the European countries that has declared its support for the use of blockchain technology in electronic elections. Specialists in the area believe that this technology would allow these important processes with the help of artificial intelligence.
Borja Gómez, from the blockchain of Paradigma, said: “The blockchain technology enables digital identity in a decentralized way, it is a record that can not be modified, which allows the vote, once it is registered, already issued and distributed, it can not be falsified or altered, with the advantage that it does not depend on a single entity “.
The votes cast in this modality will be protected against any attack that seeks to change the results, and of course, against unscrupulous hackers.
Among the advantages with respect to the current voting system are the consultation in real time, security, speed and the possibility of casting the vote from the home or office through a mobile phone or other device with Internet connection and that have been enabled by the authorities.
Some successful examples of voting with blockchain technology are found in the United States, Estonia, Brazil, Japan, Switzerland, Spain, Argentina, Mexico and El Salvador.
