Title: Sierra Leone just ran the first blockchain-based election Post by: VenturaBro on March 17, 2018, 04:30:21 PM "The citizens of Sierra Leone went to the polls on March 7 but this time something was different: the country recorded votes at 70% of the polling to the blockchain using a technology that is the first of its kind in actual practice.
"Sierra Leone wishes to create an environment of trust with the voters in a contentious election, especially looking at how the election will be publicly viewed post-election. By using blockchain as a means to immutably record ballots and results, the country hopes to create legitimacy around the election and reduce fall-out from opposition parties," he said." https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/14/sierra-leone-just-ran-the-first-blockchain-based-election/ What do you think?
