Use of the blockchain for trust reasons in Politics could be a gamechanger, and could steer us away from a lot of the problems plaguing our systems today. I like the idea, and I hope it gets implemented in the next 200-300 years

It could make the entire voting process more transparent, on both sides, for candidates and voters. Candidates can be sure of tally numbers and recounts are easily done by checking the Blockchain. Voters will gain ease of access and a wealth of knowledge on candidates, statistics, media and the like.

This blockchain would have to have mining power with an incentive back to whoever mined it, just like Bitcoin. I don't see the incentive here. Or at least knowing for sure that elections weren't forged isn't an incentive enough for most people... And places where this matters are probably places who couldn't even afford mining even at a big reward due to the initial hardware and power cost. Not saying it's a bad ideia, just saying that I don't see it being feasible.
This type of blockchain does not need proof of work to generate blocks. It does not need to be trustless, it just needs to be transparent and verifiable.
True, it could be implemented with some facilitators and possibly a proof of burn concept?

I've thought about that myself. Though, I must admit, that I have been distracted with another way of utilizing blockchain more lucratively. I was planning on trying to implement something like that after.

Hello, I had an Idea.
What if big governments did their voting with blockchains?
This could stand to remove a lot of corruption in the voting/polling system given it is done correctly.
Could this be a key to governments with more integrity?

Nice idea but I guess that gouvernments won't like this because if this works out they can't manipulate the voting system themselves.
Just kidding. We will see blockchain technologie in a lot of sections in the future.
