@davidpakman I believe in the long run it could potentially do so. Some common excuses I hear from people who don't vote are "my vote wont make a difference anyway" or "the system is rigged". If the voting system integrated a blockchain it could restore some faith in the voting system in regards to manipulation/hacking. You cant alter what is on a blockchain as it is immutable, and it could potentially be very powerful if used in the voting system.
