It's not that helpful for elections. The ballot is secured by ensuring that people can't vote more than once and that they can't be easily coerced into voting a certain way. Allowing significant remote voting destroys ballot secrecy no matter what. Blockchains don't help either problem: The former is an issue of voter registration and the latter requires ensuring nobody physically watches ballots being marked. There are verifiable voting protocols that allow for accurate counting. That is, verification by the voter that the ballot is accurately recorded without allowing the voter to prove which way they voted to a third party. They require complex infrastructure and they don't hold up against total corruption of the process any better than paper anyway. I think simple paper ballots are superior.
