Simplified Essentially every voter issued with a private key for with one vote on it at election time, or perhaps their social security number could also be the basis of the private key being signed.

They then send that vote to the candidate, party, cause, candidates address of their choice.

This becomes provably fair, and you have minimal problems with vote counting as you know how many people were registered to vote, and how you voted. Enough people would be looking at this to see if any dogey private keys with votes were being used, without being issued as you would risk end up with more votes that registered voters, and you could check that address

While some flaws may exist, here is the broad brush strokes for completely replacement of the mechanics of vote counting. Colored coins could be used for different legislative houses, etc or other features.

The electoral offices and systems of the world would save untold billions using this system, and you could vote from home.

In some instances this would make direct democracies more workable or better forms of government.

In some ways what BTC itself is doing now is a form of voting for a new form of societal structure if you thing about it, except it is real time, and a lot more nuanced and open than anything that has gone before it.
