Banking as a use-case is far more fault-tolerant than elections. Bad transactions can be reversed and redone. You can insure transactions, and all parties involved have visibility into the amounts, senders, and recipients.
Elections are one-off events involving secret ballots. You can't have a do-over without throwing the whole system into question. You can't take out insurance for elections.
