Technology is good and offers new possibilities, but I still think the printed vote is the best option. You vote and a printed receipt is dropped in a closed box. If there are doubts about the final result, all the receipts will be counted again. Surely, these boxes will be closely watched all the time.
And everything that matters for Venezuela is to keep the dictator ruling the country, don't expect any innovation from their side, let alone transparency from their electoral system, well known by frauds.

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.

Wouldn't it have been better if you had included the source of this news so everyone can verify and read more to know the very details which you have left out of your summary and also makes you not guilty of plagiarism.
One of the practical application of blockchain is during voting process which is something I have been looking forward to. All over the world, even the most advanced country, the issue of voting has been marred with several allegations of malpractices and hacking which has always cast some element of doubt in the entire process. This has made this problem a universal problem that needs to be solved using new technology and that is what blockchain will solve.
All this week, I have been reading abut trailblazing steps taken by Japan towards development of blockchain and if this continues, I see Japan taking the lead in the league of nations in the next decade as they will likely become the model everyone is looking up to.

mainly because the results would be undeniable
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.
But could they manipulate it if it was verifiably decentralized and was open source? Of course, it would be way easier for a government to create a closed source permissioned blockchain, as that would give them way more control over their people... Generally, that is what governments want, more control. The 51% attack is a problem that would need to be solved, any blockchain used for voting probably would be very centralized, as there would be no incentive to maintain the ledger.
I really am unsure how this would work or how something like this could be successfully implemented. Is there any more information on what Japan did for this? Who maintained the blockchain? What was the incentive? What algo was it? So many questions.

I do not agree that Venezuela will be the next to take step because trading cryptos is banned there. In my opinion, Japan and Russia are gonna be the lead innovators in the cryptocurrency era because their projects have great platforms and it is backed up by strong teams and lots of funds. Nevertheless, these turn of events will lead to the revival of the market and will grant most of the holders the profit that they deserve. and the experiment was successful, the voting used identity card verification in a decentralized network typology.

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.

Venezuela has much more important thing to take careAn economic crisis in a country is not what is pushing to use the blockchain tech to be used for elections. Countries with corruption, broken systems, frauds are more subject to be interested in, mainly because the results would be undeniable

Transparency: In the today’s election scheme, no method of transparency can be offered to participants of the election. When an individual places his ballot in the box at his voting district, there is no guarantee from the scheme that his vote was counted and counted correctly. Any individual vote can be misplaced, counted incorrectly because of human error or simply because the party which the voter voted for could be disliked by the individual which counted the vote. This transparency is non-existent because no ballot has information on who casted aforementioned vote. To introduce transparency in the process of an election would require a new law which
would allow government officials to provide the services which allow such method of transparency
3) Voter privacy: In every pen and paper election scheme, voters privacy is a key element. The law forbids any individual or entity to be able to know from a single vote, who gave aforementioned vote. If such information could be gathered for each vote, such information could then leak to the public which would allow for listing every single individual who voted for a single party/candidate. To satisfy the privacy of each voter,
no individual vote should be traceable back to the voter.

That's actually a great idea. It should be implemented in all democratic countries because I personally never trusted those who were counting the votes. Another great one from Japan.
