A change at the head of the Russian state is probably not for tomorrow. Vladimir Putin has already obtained the approval of the country's institutions for his constitutional reform. This allows him to run for new terms as president.
The head of state must, however, submit to a last popular vote. It is within this framework that Russia will experiment with an electronic voting system using the blockchain. This first will concern citizens living in Moscow, the capital of Russia.
Voters can register for electronic voting since June 5. The voting itself will take place from June 25 to 30. And according to the Moscow authorities, the implementation of the blockchain must guarantee “the security and transparency” of the vote.
The latter thus ensure that the system is almost impossible to hack, since it relies in particular on several servers. Officially, the use of the blockchain will make it possible to anonymize the vote of each voter, to encrypt the data and to prevent any alteration of these votes.
> The security and transparency of electronic voting will be ensured by blockchain technology. Such a network does not have a single server: to modify the information concerning the bulletins, it is necessary to obtain the agreement of the majority of the participants in the network, so that the chain is almost impossible to hack. The vote itself is anonymized and encrypted, ”details the Russian municipality.
