World’s first large scale blockchain based political election held on Zcoin’s blockchain

Over the period of 1st to the 9th of November, some of you have noticed that we had a huge surge in transactions, with hundreds to thousands of transactions being posted each block on Zcoin’s blockchain. We are now finally able to reveal what these transactions were. In fact this was hinted back in October with Mr. Korn Chatikavanij, former Minister of Finance revealing that political parties in Thailand have started using blockchain technology to select party leaders.

The Thai Democrat Party, Thailand’s oldest political party, recently held a primary election to elect its new party leader. In the past, the party leader was selected by the party’s MPs and the party chairman. With the primary election, all Democrat party members were eligible to vote and it represents the first time a Thai political party has selected its head with input from the grassroots.
