I think blockchain technology could greatly increase participation, but not necessarily voter turnout. I think blockchain technology would give people more incentive to participate in elections from their houses than them showing up at a voting booth. 

Personally, I think it is not necessary for increasing voter turnout and participation. If the two major parties in the US actually offered decent candidates, then voter participation and turnout would go up. It will also go up if more than the two major parties were allowed to debate on a stage that is broadcasted across the country; it's kind of suppressing the other parties (Libertarian, Green, etc.) and not letting them actually hit big topics and reach big crowds.

As blockchain technology may improve fairness of elections, it may also improve public trust and engagement. This video describes 19 'industries' which blockchain is likely to disrupt, one of them is voting

I think so and my reason being the would be more confidence in the system to be secure and not some mysterbox from the 1980s

I still question the legitimacy of voting in a system that is not voluntary. In other words, just because a bunch of people vote for a thing, that does not mean the outcome of that vote is legitimate.

We offer a suite of blockchain based governance/resource distribution services that we believe will one day replace the archaic governance models currently used.

excellent vlog

If it increases, through the Blockchain technology, the computer system has more users, and when they see the versatility of the system they are forced to use it, not because of the obligation, but because of the usefulness.

This might could work

drop the mic

.

No doubt about it. I don't really get around to voting very often. Mainly because most of the shit is so asinine and open to corruption I usually feel there are better uses of my time. 

Voting is awesome, I can't wait to be able to vote with confidence!

it could deffinatly help us

great idea

It possible can but it may have to have a return on the voters side.  I almost think there is a post that states that if some should vote  approximate 28 mins it is possible there may earn some reward according to that posts performance. I think @steemteam might have alot of understanding in that department.

I think it may if people believed it would curb fake votes. however,
Why is there so low a turnout or participation? 
How can it be increased?

I believe there is loss of faith in the system. People are beginning at last to realise that it does not matter who is voted in, they still get screwed. Apathy, I think is the key. The electorate is so discouraged and wearied by everything about politics, that they just think 'what's the point?'.

If you want people to vote, someone has to create a new party that is true to it's word and believes in values the common man believes in. Run the country responsibly and for the people.

Hi Im New here I still learn about this. Great post

Bagaimana caranya @davidpakman

I dont know how, i new here and still learn about this. Great post and have a nice day

Wow, this could be very interesting💡

What is the secret to earning all this Steem on one blog post? I'm struggling to earn $1 per post. 🙁 I guess my blogs suck.

I think it's difficult to speculate on the benefits of blockchain technology for voter turnout. I do believe that the technology has the benefit of increasing transparency and reducing corruption within any sort of electoral system. However, if that will translate to increased voter turnout is a big leap to make.

Let's not forget, voter apathy is a huge issue in a democratic society. If people feel like their vote won't actually matter or change the things they dislike about the current political regime, using blockchain won't solve that problem.

Now, I do think there is an argument to be made that blockchain has the potential to make government bureaucracy more efficient, transparent, and less corrupt. If blockchain were to be used to administer the public health system, for example, leading to reduced inefficiency and waste, then you may down the road see a resurgence in belief in the democratic system for those who choose to sit out.

may be beneficial

Nothing is impossible this days. The world is evolving, blockchain to the rescue and behind every innovation to crypto currency so he'll yea.

Very interesting and fantastic post greetings friend

Check out Horizon State!  Blockchain voting for entire countries!

The UNTHINKABLE is suddenly THINKABLE with blockchain technology....

I don't know why and how? But my answer is yes. :)

What's a block chain?

@davidpakman I believe in the long run it could potentially do so.  Some common excuses I hear from people who don't vote are "my vote wont make a difference anyway" or "the system is rigged".   If the voting system integrated a blockchain it could restore some faith in the voting system in regards to manipulation/hacking. You cant alter what is on a blockchain as it is immutable, and it could potentially be very powerful if used in the voting system.

The potential for blockchain to increase voter turnout is mainly linked to voting online via unique identity.  There are many ways to do this but blockchain definitely has the potential to do it!

Blockchain tech could offer an unparalleled  amount of transparency in voting, that could lead to either;

1. More accountability to the voters by elected officials
or
1. The lack of a need for elected officials in general (cutting out the middlemen so to speak.)

That is assuming that we ever get to the point that we implement it in a reasonable way.
