Non-paper-ballot voting has been going on for decades. The blockchain is perhaps the most secure design ever seen. Pete Martin, founder and CEO of Votem, a veteran of SAP consulting, along with his team set about figuring out a way forward to enable mobile and other types of digital voting, and came up with an open call for submissions of a mobile voting platform with a reward of $230,000. There was no requirement that the solution had to be blockchain-based, but the primary criteria of the submission was that it \u201ccouldn\u2019t be hacked.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mobile voting could allow for identity verification on a whole new level. Martin points out that most US states prohibit invasive identification techniques.<\/p>\n
Before the last election, Votem purchased the intellectual property of Konnech Inc., a company which had existing contracts with more than one jurisdiction. Their blockchain-based platform was utilized in the \u201cfan vote\u201d portion of the 2017 induction of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members. Nearly 2 million votes were cast using the blockchain \u2013 the largest such use of blockchain in voting to date. Over 60% of its votes were cast via mobile phones.<\/p>\n
