I'm not sure about this specific approach. As other comments note, this is somewhat complex. That said there may be a few gem ideas.
- Did my vote get counted? (can you prove it)
- Did it get counted correctly? (can you prove it)
- Can a vote be both traceable to the voter and anonymous publicly?
The parallel to blockchain is simple. I get a "vote coin" that I can spend at the election. You can then see who has the most votes. The challenge to overcome in any block-chain approach is how to prevent votes from being bought and sold.
If done correctly you don't have to trust the hardware to trust the election. If done correctly we could vote by phone.
- wheelerwj 10y agothe biggest problem isn't buying and selling votes, its distribution of the votecoin. if you can get votea into the hands of legitimate voters, the rest falls into place.
- graiz 10y agoThat aspect wouldn't have to change from how it's done today. Go to your polling location and show/prove residency for registration purposes.
- wheelerwj 10y agothen you don't need a blockchain. As a proponent of blockchain-based voting. we're not hitting the 10x better rule with this solution.
