Innovation is great and offers new conceivable outcomes, however, regardless I think the printed vote is the best alternative. You vote and a printed receipt is dropped in a shut box. In the event that there are questions about the last outcome, every one of the receipts will be checked once more.

The idea of blockchain will totally help out us out to prevent flying voters that constantly cheat the voting system .
Not just on politics or any voting system but also to some other things .
Blockchain technology is surely helpful to us . lets just hope that many people will try to implement the use of it . so that it can also help bitcoin and other cryptos to get noticed by the public .

There are countries out there who are doing far better than what is happening at Venezuela. It may seem like their government is trying to help them by providing Petro and new blockchain system for helping their inflation but in reality, the government is just corrupted and they using all these technology just for helping themselves, not the general people. Compared to that, Japan is in a far advanced position.
Blockchain has a formation with their node that's remains it decentralized. And that's becoming very useful techlogy worldwide. And many company and others are use this technoly in different field like japan.
It’s a great step taken by Japan. I think if all the democratic countries use this blockchain technology in the voting system then there will be no forgery in voting and the country will be developed.
If blockchain is used in a proper way, it can be a revolutionary change to the Networking and security system of one country. It is a very secured system, and as the data are almost impossible to crack, it becomes the safest way one can store data.
Government controlled blockchain can be very difficult to understand and to deal with. There is a high chance for the government to take control over the whole system if they really want to. But, given Japan's culture with transparency and dilligence I hope their government takes the right step which will eventually accelarate the mass adoption for blockchain and cryptos.
I hope that blockchain will be an important thing and our future life will be dependent on the blockchain. If we want to live a hassle-free life in future or now, then blockchain technology will be the best option.
Venezuela is unlikely to prosper as long as Chavez and his men don't stop thinking about their own personal interests. Nothing will change the scenario there. But, for Japan, I am very hopeful. Their financial service agency is working very hard to implement cryptocurrencies into their financial system and now this news of utilizing blockchain really gave me hope.
Chavez? You referring to Hugo? He died like 5 years ago. But I agree that he left the country in turmoil and the people behind the country (Maduro) didn't do anything good as well. So I doubt that blockchain voting will be allowed by his government, actually it won't allowed as long as he is in power. Japan though is different, I would say that the country is compatible with technology, hence its possible that will go and used in in foreseeable future.

The technology brought by blockchain is one of the most significant development in the modern era. The potential if decentralization is highly anticipated. Though, there are drawbacks and limitations in this technology, they'll just need to improve to make it suitable with the different systems.
Givent that it is Japan that we are talking about who has a stable economy, it is alright for them to take this initiative. But Venezuela is not in the same position as Japand and they have other things to worry about right now.
This actually would bring total transparency during an election. But do you think people are ready? Do you think they will understand the technology required for voting? Are they actually ready or will end up hesitating to vote? Too many questions, one answer: They will need to be educated about the technology before these are implemented.
I think there's a solution to clear that confusion, I think the government need not to explain one by one how the Blockchain works they but should simplify the process and the Blockchain will take care of everything on the background. Blockchain is a good help in government processes and transactions to keep everything recorded and tamper proof.
The initiative taken by Japan is a good thing indeed given they have a stable economy. But cannot be adopted by Vanezuela because they are going through high inflation, so they have other things to worry about at the moment

Why is that? Please bear with me, as I haven't looked into ethereum for a good while now...
Lol, Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do with Ethereum. Believe it or not, I haven't even looked into what plasma is and how it functions, All I know is it will solve the scalability issue of ethereum.
How and Why? I can't think of a way to manipulate results if every single voter is securing the network. Even if you have a two party system and supporters of the majority party collaborate to do a 51% attack. But why would they do that, if they are the majority? It doesn't make any sense.

Ethereum's blockchain in no shape or form offers any decentralization, especially with how you only need to make sure you catch Vitalik and you're pretty much good to go as government.

Ethereum has rolled back the chain already to save investor funds, and that with a minority agreement! In other words, Ethereum is pretty much the last blockchain you would want to use for these purposes, especially if you take into consideration that Vitalik recently admitted to write a fork in case he's forced to do so. It's a complete lunatic.

Voting itself is and will always be prone to some extent of manipulation, even on the most decentralized network as the one from Bitcoin.

Well for Japan its a yes, they are always open for innovative ways to improve their daily lives and that is what I admire them the most. They are not afraid to try new ideas and they just test them out just like what is stated by OP. People can now thrust blockchain in election because of this move by the Japanese People.
Tsubuka, one of the cities in Japan was chosen by the Japanese government become a city of science, and a few days ago, the city government there conducted an experiment to implement a voting system with blockchain.
and the experiment was successful, the voting used identity card verification in a decentralized network typology.
this is an example that blockchain will become part of our lives. blockchain will have an important role now and in the future.
in my opinion, next is Venezuela that will create new innovations and changes in the crypto world.
Blockchain can actually be used for voting due to its transparency. But I doubt if most corrupt politicians would want to use it in elections voting. I fully support this blockchain technology for electioneering processes. and the experiment was successful, the voting used identity card verification in a decentralized network typology.

Venezuela is a dictatorship. Blockchain doesn't work well in a dictatorship because autocrats want control and decentralized systems cannot be controlled. Venezuela isn't going to adopt blockchain in any official capacity and the government will repress any attempts to adopt any type of crytpo currency. Control is far more important to them than lifting the country out of poverty because even when the country is poor the dictator is rich.
Japan perhaps see and notice that Blockchain technology is positive and proper to use for voting. It is nice sound to hear from Japan, I am waiting for other countries and specially my own country use blockchain in any instances. It might be good because blockchain technology provides transparency and accuracy. It can minimize and prevent manipulation of data.

Its good to see that what we talked in this forum will be implemented today. I knew that blockchain can be a tool to use to provide decentralization and transparency throughout the world. Making it as an equipment on voting is a good idea because it will prevent those candidates that manipulates the election. No more biased and officials that will be elected will come to the hands of majority. and the experiment was successful, the voting used identity card verification in a decentralized network typology.
