| Polys launches its first blockchain-based secure online voting device |
The Polys project, run by Kaspersky Innovation Center, launched a secure online voting system for companies, universities and political parties.
This project offers a prototype of a new type of blockchain electronic voting device. It is the first of its kind to integrate this technology into electronic voting technology. This method can guarantee the transmission of all sounds. Voting, whether in the polling center or using a personal device, is carried out securely so that participants can vote to choose the voting method and organizers to choose secure voting options online and ensure confidentiality.
Online voting offers regulators and voters many benefits, including: for example, remote voting, automatic vote counting, instant count results, fewer logistical challenges and centralized voting management.
For groups unfamiliar with smartphones or laptops, or who prefer to vote personally at polling stations, transferring voting to the Internet may be an obstacle, and the other challenge is to prepare a secret in which the voting type is set in which the voter has not been detected and has the opportunity to verify his vote .
Polis voting machine was developed to solve this problem using distributed scoring technology. This means that all voting information is stored on many distributed data points.
Election organizers can choose more than one computer to store this data, for example b. Trusted enterprise devices or standalone monitors, which can reduce the risk of fake voices because violators must enter all of these computers to rig the results.
Before using the voting machine, voters must verify their identity using identity documents to obtain their unique QR code (or other unique token), and no one can see that voters can choose to "appear" on the screen. To vote. Scan the code using the voting machine.
Voters can also check their voice recordings with the same QR code and private web apps. However, name and options are not stored in a blockchain-based database to prevent tracking.
The access code can also be linked to elections in a specific region, which means that even a voter representative from that region will appear to voters, even if they intend to vote at a polling station in another area. Region.
The voting device can be connected to Polis platform for electronic voting via one blockchain system. This means that the device and the system share the voter register to exclude the ability to conduct two votes with different options, allowing users to use the Internet from their mobile phones. You can vote safely on a smart device or vote using Polis electronic voting devices at the polling center. In this case, all sounds are automatically encoded and counted.
The automatic vote counting feature greatly reduces employee costs, and allows regulators to simplify resource consumption and achieve results once voting is over, making the entire process faster, faster, more efficient, and accurate.
Roman Alychkin, director of product Polis said: "The vote on the Polis electronic platform will solve the problems of organizing paper votes, and indicates that the platform can enhance remote participation and encourage young people to participate in elections.
He added: "The use of Polis equipment can secure physical polling stations so as not to deprive certain groups of people of the ability to vote, participate and vote, to which we have introduced new centers." Voting machines so that citizens feel comfortable and can vote transparently using their preferred method. '
By providing these prototypes, companies can develop specially developed solutions and devices based on the Polis system to meet the specific needs of different voting systems.
Polis provides a blockchain-based platform for community voting services, nonprofits, student unions, etc. The company aims to launch a major election campaign using blockchain technology in Volgograd, with more than 82,000 citizens.
