Quality of questions was better before. Now forum is also following insight strategy of lifting lines from article and framing questions. Your better framed questions was the reason i shifted to forum from insight. I hope you start framing questions like you did previously.

What is blockchain technology? How do you think it can help in fighting voter fraud during elections?

There are many allegations surfacing in the country as to the tampering of EVM’s in the elections. Though the ECI has been trying to counter the allegations through initiatives like EVM hackathon, the mistrust among the people is being carried. Blockchain technology is one that mitigates vote manipulation in the elections. Though it’s conceived for financial transactions, it is an apt solution for supporting voting systems.

Blockchain technology is a sort of public account ledger, immutable,transparent and permanent one. Each transaction is similar to a vote and through the use of multiple blockchains along with public key encryption, the voting process is secured while protecting the anonymity of voters. The votes can then be randomized more than three times in the digital ballot box so that voters’ identities are not revealed. After the polls are closed, a separate blockchain application is created for the counting of votes in the digital ballot box. That blockchain should match the public bulletin board’s blockchain, proving that the online voting system has operated correctly.

It is decentralised and visible to the public always. Given the deep penetration of cellphones and the Aadhaar system, blockchain could be a feasible tool to fight voter fraud.

In view of the emerging and potential threats to the current system, it is essential to experiment with new technologies that can potentially secure the system.
