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 might be an effective and efficient way to use in voting. As we know that even though some people say that it has high risk due to the free framework whereas people might access freely. However, the transparency system and principle of blockchain technology makes it proper use as the voting system. Blockchain will be more worth in future and I think others countries can adopt Japan.

This is a sign that Japan is strong in search of transparency, accuracy, justice, innovation and speed. Presently now blockchain is the only technology that can offer it in a system. All the countries need blockchain in their electoral system in order to ascertain a high level of free and fair election.

I think not only Japan, but also every other countries should use blockchain system. Because the old bank vault sytem to store datas are very unrelyable. It can change a developing country by eradicating the risk of data manupulation.

It is not only in Japam or Venezuela, many people see the positive and advantages of Crypto. It is because Crypto uses the blockchain technology which offers simplicity and transparency system. I think it might be use for government in many instance or agency.

Would they? what if the network is being controlled by the goverenment it self? 51% attack would be an easy way for them to manipulate the results... Unless they use a 3rd party blockchain like ethereum. There is nothing stopping them to manipulate the results.

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.

Chances are low for Venezuela for making it as the next cut because crypto are banned in that country still. Russia might have a chance though because they do have high participation from their end. And they do have good teams and good funding too.

That's a great news. Blockchain technology is now being implemented on every sectors of our lives. Tsubuka has recently experimented voting system by blockchain technology. The results were successful. I think if we implement blockchain Technology correctly, it might bring revolutionary changes in our lives.

Block chain now has become a new era and Japan has done a great work by using it. But I have a concern that Venezuela might not be the next one to create new invention using it as their government don’t support it yet. They might do it but it will take a long time

voting is a way that can be done to find out how much the community accepts and uses blockhcain technology, but how can that vertification be done honestly and safely because this is until now a scourge for some people

don't compare Japan with Venezuela dude. the situation is completely different in these two countries. in Japan they have seen the potential of bitcoin and also the blockchain technology as both the decentralized currency and then the technology to use in other spaces.
but in Venezuela they have only seen the technology and how they can make profit by creating their own personal altcoin to make money. I doubt that this country really does anything innovative in the crypto-space.

Do you have information on how the identity check was carried out? After all, this is important, honesty and openness of voting depend on it.

Knowing how the Japs operate, I don't think they have the guts to manipulate election results, or if ever the doubt arises regarding manipulation, I'm sure they already have a plan for anti-fraud in their elections. Sure that there always is the possibility for a 51% attack on a decentralized blockchain, but if the network itself is hidden and requires some credentials before being accessed, I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be any problems.

To my mind, they shouldn't be connected but i m not expert and can't say for sure what makes both of them special. As I think, it is better to use the blockchain now and not wait because it has many advantages

I saw something related to this in Africa in late 2017, where a blockchain project (don't want to mention name) came to the voting unit to conduct some project experience.
They refused to publish the result they got from the voting because they were invited by government of the country.

I think that's a very good idea, I do not trust others with manual works instead we will have 100% guarantee that the person has given the vote and no one others. Better feel saves a lot of time and money and eventually make things a lot faster I wish all the countries should try this thing out and they should also implement this kind of Technology in their voting system very soon.

Exactly blockchain doesn't servers any purpose if it used in a centralized way. What I would like to see is smart contracts being run on a public controlled blockchain. The governments are not ready to trust the people who are running the network, yet...

I think it is better if you will rephrase your last sentence in the quote as governments not being ready for reform yet since they don't want to part with their corrupted voting system and is not ready for honest, manipulation free election. IMO, the thing you would like to see would not probably come to pass unless someone will decide to work for its implementation.

Yes, here, that theme, which would be really interesting.
When I first heard about this technology, I immediately thought how interesting it would be to observe the elections ... it's just an ideal system that really will allow holding the most fair elections in the world. Yes ... the same democracy with the use of this technology could happen =) However, something tells me that we are unlikely to see this technology in state elections

The network would not be supposed to be controlled by a government or any other institution. One of the purposes of a decentralized ledger, is a consensus of replicated and sync'ed data spread across several participants, as you know.

Regarding a voting system, we could imagine for example citizens being the main participants of the network. After all, they are the most concerned. If citizens don't want to participate in the security of their data and the system then it's another thing. It's like refusing to vote but complaining about the current political system.

In fact, I don't find fair to see something else (entity, institution, govt.) than the citizens used to do it

That IMO will be a true "Free and Fair" election. Something like Ethereum where power isn't distributed to a few but rather to many. If they don't, it's just like replacing the current database with a newer one. We are still very far from having 'Decentralized' elections. The governments are not ready to trust the people who are running the network, yet...

Zug, a city in Switzerland known as the "Crypto Valley," has successfully completed its first test of a local blockchain-based voting system.

As CoinDesk reported on June 11, the Swiss city launched an e-voting pilot platform built on a blockchain as part of the city's efforts to embrace the technology. The voting process took place between June 25 and July 1, and stored both polling information and residents' IDs on the system.

SWI swissinfo.ch, a news outlet owned by the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation, reported on Monday that the city's head of communications, Dieter Müller, claimed that "the premiere was a success."

Following the positive results, Müller said that "technical details" of the voting process will be

So this so called blockchain based voting has been experimented by Zug and it was already reported as a success. Although the turn out is just small, this experiment proves the blockchain based voting might be the new standards specially around Europe in the next 5 years.

@OP, what made you think that Venezuela will create new innovations like blockchain base voting? On the contrary, Maduro will not implement this voting because its going to be hard for him to tamper it. Petro? LOL, it was reported that this is just pure imagination because there's no actual investors and those $700 Million he reported is nothing to be found.
