The United States Postal Service (USPS) has reportedly filed a patent for a blockchain-based mail-in voting system.
The public patent application that contains 47 pages is majorly occupied with diagrams showing various components of the proposed mail-in voting system, coupled with each stage of the electronic process.
The patent filed by the postal service reads in part as follows:.
“A voting system can use the security of blockchain and the mail to provide a reliable voting system.
The system separates voter identification and votes to ensure vote anonymity, and stores votes on a distributed ledger in a blockchain.”.
The security of a voting system can be increased by using the dependability and security of the United States Postal Service or similar entity, and this can be incorporated with a secure computer system using a blockchain or distributed ledger to ensure vote security and to prevent tampering or modification of electronic voting results.”.
It has now been concluded that mail-in voting system would be adopted, but some people are still of the opinion that the system would encourage fraudulence during the election, hence the need for blockchain technology. »
