The Government Blockchain Association (GBA) has recently released the Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM) Voting Supplement, a critical resource for governments, organizations, and developers worldwide. This supplement provides a comprehensive framework to ensure the privacy, security, and integrity of voting systems.
According to Susan Eustis, Chair of the GBA Voting Working Group, the scope of the Voting Supplement extends beyond government elections, making it applicable to businesses, associations, and other forms of governance. Its goal is to enhance trust in democratic outcomes by providing a roadmap for developers and administrators seeking to implement trusted election solutions.
Mark Stewart, a City Councilman from Chandler, AZ, emphasizes the importance of standardizing blockchain technology when it comes to ensuring trust in the voting process. He explains that blockchain, as an immutable database, can ensure the integrity of data and track the chain of custody in elections. By providing a foundation for trust, standardizing blockchain technology brings it into the next century and bolsters credibility.
The Voting Supplement, which is a supplement to the GBA’s Blockchain Maturity Model, is now available for download on the GBA’s official website.
