South Korea to apply blockchain for voting system
The tests of this new tool will begin next month, and will be carried out by the private company of the Asian country
The government of South Korea is working on a blockchain platform that will be aimed at improving the country’s voting system.
The private sector will be in charge of running the entire testing process, which will start from next month. The protagonists of this strategy were the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the National Elections Commission (NEC).
The idea consists of the application of blockchain technology to provide voters with a process of verification and savings of results. It is also sought that there is greater transparency and security regarding all the steps of suffrage.
Given this, the voting would be done through laptops and personal computers. The data provided will be sent to a distributed network, so that all voters can see the results obtained from the process as this progress.
The tests will be carried out with the elaboration of surveys that will be applied by the Blockchain Society of the National University of Seoul and the Korean Internet and Security Agency, the organism in charge of the regulation and content of the Internet in the country.
The results will determine if the system is applicable or not for online suffrages. The NEC has said that it is planned that the use of artificial intelligence, big data and IoT technology will be applied in the future.
