Voter confidence in the democratic process is plummeting, which presents a tremendous civic problem. There is still no globally accepted way to verify electronic voting as 100% accurate. On the public side alone, 2017 has borne witness to some of the worst democratic crises of the 21st century. In Venezuela, the President has claimed victory in a “sham” election announcing election results that were different than the actual tally. A process that is independently and easily verifiable, by-elections management bodies and individually by each voter, is the only true solution to push democratic decisionmaking towards greater dependability, accuracy, and accountability.
Mobile transactions are long past the point of global adoption. With nearly 2 billion smartphones in use worldwide, a significant and growing portion of banking, payments, shopping, and even filing taxes, takes place digitally. Dozens of companies and entrepreneurs have tried to introduce online voting over the past decade, but the number of online votes cast is paltry compared to traditional votes cast using traditional methods.
Votem’s Solution
Votem positions itself between the tech-savvy blockchain entrepreneurs who don’t understand the intricacies of running elections and the traditional election systems manufacturers who rely heavily on traditional voting methods. Votem approach is rooted in a deep understanding of both voter behavior and the demands of election officials and legislators. There are 4 (four) key components of the Votem solution, which VAST Token Holders get to take advantage of, which includes the following:
- CastIron Mobile Voting Platform, the application layer that provides the Election Management System (EMS) and related functionality to support online elections.
- “Proof of Vote” Protocol provides the detailed method for conducting end-to-end verifiable elections using distributed ledger technology.
- VAST Token provides role-based access to the CastIron software platform.
- Blockchain creating auditable vote records that can be validated in real time.
The CastIron mobile voting platform is the blockchain-based election management system (EMS) that provides the application functionality for running elections. Access to CastIron is secured through a VAST Token which unlocks various features of the Platform. CastIron was designed to be a single functional application platform that can handle the variety of ballot styles and be tallying methods globally with support for multi-language and local jurisdictional support. Its extensibility allows for VAST Token holders to extend the Platform for languages, local laws, etc. as part of the Votem community and ecosystem.
VAST Token
The VAST Token is an EIP-20 (formerly ERC-20) compliant digital token issued by Votem Corp and is named after the four critical elements of a voting system (Verifiability, Accessibility, Security, Transparency). Once tokens are purchased, they can be used for any number of elections, but only for one election at a time. VAST Tokens will support a range of validation requirements and role-based functionality for different elections as not all elections require the same levels of technical complexity nor human validation as others. The Votem platform will require at least 1 (one) VAST Token per ballot to be processed.
The VAST Token and related CastIron Platform enable citizens, organizations, and governments around the world to easily manage or participate in online voting with the highest possible level of verifiability, accessibility, security, and transparency. The VAST Token and related Platform improves the efficacy of voting by ensuring the integrity of the voting process, the confidentiality of the voters' choices, and validity of the results sector elections. It combines advanced mobile capabilities and a private blockchain framework, with public sidechains for additional verification, using voter anonymizing technological schemas and mathematical proofs of verifiability, all enabled by VAST Tokens.
