Former President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have announced plans to explore a federal blockchain-based voting system in collaboration with major blockchain platforms, including Cardano, Hyperledger, and Hedera. The goal of this initiative is to enhance election transparency and security, potentially preventing voter fraud. Blockchain technology offers characteristics that align well with the needs of a secure voting system, such as transparent and verifiable audit trails. However, implementing a federal blockchain voting system would require significant regulatory adjustments and bipartisan support. While early pilots have shown promise, there are challenges to address in scalability, accessibility, security, and regulatory compliance before blockchain-based voting can revolutionize the American electoral process.
