    Revitalizing democracy with blockchain

    Scrutiny of election processes and the extent to which they are manipulated has increased dramatically since the Cambridge Analytica scandal, to the point now where citizens no longer believe in a fair and honest electoral process. Using blockchain technology to facilitate transparent and trustworthy elections could encourage more participation and belief amongst citizens, so why are governments so slow to adopt it?

    ​

    Representation and legitimacy are concepts that these days are presented in the same sentence as the word crisis. Multiple governments' poor handling of the Covid-19 pandemic around the world have only made the problem more acute. Trust in democracy is at an all time low.

    The alternatives offered by governments trying to preserve people's attention are more of the same. Offering election after election without real change of procedure is failing to engage the distrustful citizen. A recent poll in the UK found that half of citizens believe that the 2019 election was interfered with by foreign governments.

    The turning point is where a proven technology can help transform a broken process. It's the Cinderella of our times: Blockchain.

    Every new technology faces resistance from those who do not know about it. It's hard to explain what a blockchain is to non-technical people. Without concrete examples, barring cryptocurrencies, this technology still sounds abstract. While its use is not infinite – NOTHING works for EVERYTHING – one brilliant application could be the transformation of the electoral process.

    Symbol from NEM: a democratic metaphor

    Both democracy and blockchain depend on a consensus. That's why there's so much talk about the democratic possibilities of this technology, and it is worth saying that Symbol is well suited through Its consensus algorithm, POS+, which makes it very difficult to attack the blockchain and manipulate the data. This not only validates but also encourages the participation of everyone involved in a transaction process.

    Elections and technology depend on similar principles of transparency, security, and speed. The time for relevant debate about the potential of blockchain for elections is now. Isn't it time for us to move towards better, more efficient democracies? It is the public who must push for this change. We need to demand greater transparency from our representatives in electoral management that only blockchain can provide.

    Why are governments so slow in picking up a ready-made solution to such a fundamental problem? Firstly, there is clearly a lack of awareness and understanding of the potential of blockchain among governments and blockchain projects and businesses need to do a better job of explaining the applications. Blockchain companies so far have not made it easy for established organizations to deploy blockchain solutions and there is of course a natural resistance to risk and change in such well-established institutions such as government. Lastly, and perhaps most worrying of all, there is even a reluctance amongst some in power to be held accountable through an electoral process that is both transparent and impossible to manipulate.

    Symbol blockchain proposal is a reality and is easy to use to safeguard Democracy and improve other institutional processes. A National Constitution, or using a technology like Symbol, are not a guarantee of democracy by themselves, but both are necessary as tools for citizens to be heard and respected. Both are needed to put trust back at the heart of a key component of society.
