Agora: blockchain-based voting ecosystem
治理是区块链领域的一大难题,有很多设计非常有趣的治理类项目但鲜少有人问津,故真本聪特此开设治理类专题项目科普,为大家介绍业界一些有意思的治理类题材项目。

Agora: Digital National Elections with Blockchain
“There are multiple advantages of using an online voting system like Agora: citizens can vote from anywhere using their computer or phone; online elections are inexpensive, requiring far less manual labor; elections are also more accessible and people don’t need to take time off work or pay for transportation to vote; their privacy and their votes secured with a blockchain. Using blockchain also guarantees the entire election can be easily monitored and electoral frauds become impossible as every vote is verified as genuine.”

Blockchain Impact on Jobs: How it is Disrupting the Ecology of Intermediaries
“More than being efficient, the removal of human intermediaries from the voting process eliminates not only mistakes, but also corruption and coercion. There are a number of illegitimate democracies that have come into power through voter fraud, but through blockchain, this would be an impossibility.”

Possible Blockchain Uses
“By the middle of this century according to Gammar, most countries will use some form of digital voting and the blockchain appears in its eyes as the most appropriate one.”

Democratising Africa Through Blockchain
“One of the main reasons this is possible is inherently in Blockchain’s nature: Decentralised and transparent. Essentially, it has the ability to combat many political electoral problems.”

Will Blockchain Voting Give Ballots and Results Credibility
“In the March 2018 Sierra Leone presidential election, blockchain voting technology from Switzerland-based blockchain startup Agora was tested at around 280 polling stations alongside the country’s traditional polling mechanism.”

Blockchain: The Solution to a Fair Election Process?
“If this vision spreads to the world election process, this could revolutionize the entire system and seems to be able to solve the majority of issues concerning voting today.”

Blockchain; a Dark Horse in Nigeria's Economy
“Blockchain can be utilized in elections by creating a decentralized ledger of voters which contains all necessary information needed. This eliminates fraudulent cases of people registering more than once.”
