Blockchain based voting system will be used for voting for the change of the Russian constitution.

Moscow residents will soon be able to vote with a blockchain-based voting system for the country's very controversial constitutional amendment. According to a statement by the Russian government and information from the Decrypt source, officials think the distributed ledger technology will provide security and transparency during the voting process.

In the announcement, it was emphasized that the blockchain-based network does not have a single server, and it is almost impossible to hack blockchain technology, so it is necessary to get the approval of the majority of the network participants to change information.

Russia Trusts Blockchain

It is stated that online voting will be held directly between 25 and 30 June on the website created specifically for this event. Users can log in and participate in the e-vote process using any public service account.

It was stated that the electronic voting process in question was not different from the normal voting process, and it would be sufficient for those who approve the change to choose “Yes” and those who do not approve to choose “No”. It is stated that a similar blockchain based voting will take place in Nizhny Novgorod region as well as Moscow.

The announcement about the change of an article in Russia's constitution was first made by Vladimir Putin in January and created a lot of controversy. It is a big curiosity how this vote will end and what role the chainchain will play.
