With the prolongation of the Covid-19 pandemic, the South Korean government once again discussed the blockchain-based online electoral system, after in 2018 pilot projects were administered from different ministries within the Asian country for that purpose.
"By applying blockchain technology within the process of authenticating voters and storing and verifying voting results, transparency and security are significantly strengthened compared to existing online voting," said a politician about these 2018 trials of the Korean government. And he added that "at that time it had been done to verify whether the blockchain-based online electoral system can function properly. It was not intended to be used for external or generalized elections."
When the pilot program ended, the song was on hold and did not appear again until the week. The authorities are concerned that the general elections held on April 15 of this year a few months ago and will surely have a minimum turnout in years. It is here where blockchain emerges as a safe and effective alternative for various specialists.
On the other hand, the K-vote, a web electoral system developed by the Korean national committee independently, has been actively used in private sector elections since 2013. K-Vote is especially used in political party elections, recommendations for candidates for president of the National University and elections of representatives of apartment tenants.
Regarding the probability of implementing this technique in parliamentary and presidential elections, another government official expressed that "The K-Vote, which is widely used in the private sector, is difficult to use publicly in elections at this time because the people are still concerned about the reliability of the web voting system. Once a social consensus has been established, a legal basis must be prepared. "
For their part, the United States, Russia, Australia, Spain, Estonia, Denmark and Ukraine are already preparing to introduce or implement electronic voting using blockchain.
All of this is taking shape every time due to covid19 and social distancing in countries like the United States at that time there was only an idea of vote-by-mail politicians but it was not accepted and neither was specifically talked about blockchain and what to do. Do you think about this new news, would you like to see a vote with the blockchain technology implemented in your country?
For my part, I would love to see blockchain implemented in E-vote, we would be saying that blockchain in addition to having a force in the economy would have a force in politics and freedom and would be talking about the fraudulent votes ending, something. that today is very common in several countries
