Votem To Use Blockchain To Record Immutable Voting Records
Pete Martin was challenged to come up with an idea to impact 1 billion people in a way that would positively impact their lives. He decided to reinvent voting by using blockchain technology to create immutable, auditable records of your votes.
He is building a system that will allow you to verify that your vote was counted at the same time the government can verify that you voted–while preserving the anonymity of your vote. No one will know who you voted for except you.
