The DecentralizedDynamos group want to join the efforts to revolutionize traditional voting systems as we know them, by developing a blockchain-based voting system that is decentralized, transparent, accessible, and secure.
With the upcoming elections in South Africa, we were urged to think about the traditional voting systems we have in place. This typically involves a voter queuing at designated voting stations to vote, and using paper-based ballots to cast their vote. These ballots are then manually counted by election officials to determine the results.
We have decided to develop a voting system using blockchain technologies, that will help mitigate the challenges that traditional voting systems may face.
