It's weird that Italy is the first country that has an idea to implement blockchain into voting.
It isn't the most tech advanced country and it isn't the most crypto friendly(not that this idea has anything to do with crypto)
And it is likely the only one (apart from cryptocurrencies)
Nevertheless, these two niches are at the top of things which make our societies tick along (i.e. money and elections). It would be interesting to see how things are going to develop further. I assume countries with strong democratic tradition such as Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, maybe a few other countries won't have any issues in integrating the blockchain into their electoral systems, and after a while other countries may follow their lead. And then we will see which governments are truly democratic and which are only using elections as a disguise for their authoritarian rule
