ABSTRACT
Electoral fraud comes in many flavours and is a real problem. Democratic systems have their merits as well as their challenges, but with Blockchain we can solve these challenges and develop a better system, known as ‘liquid democracy’, which combines the advantages of both direct democracy and represented democracy. Liquid democracy empowers voters and brings the people closer to decision-making, reduces voter apathy, and, by being a direct representation of a society’s structure, ensures that minorities and ethnic groups will also be able to have a say. Blockchain could significantly improve the democratic system and eliminate electoral fraud.
