South Korea has a history of supporting blockchain projects, they have even increased the blockchain budget for next year to continue to grow the space. Next on the blockchain landscape in South Korea is a plan to develop a blockchain voting system. The system will be developed by South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT with help from the National Election Commission (NEC) and will go on trial in the private sector in December.
South Korea see this as the next step in encouraging trust in a more digital way of dealing with democracy. The country implemented an online voting system back in 2013, nicknamed K-voting. Many governments around the world are considering online voting to encourage more people to vote and taking away the logistical difficulties of in-person voting. However, trust in the Korean system remains low due to concerns of hacking and fraud.
