Utah Becomes The Third U.S. Jurisdiction To Offer Blockchain-Based Mobile Voting

Utah County is the latest jurisdiction in the U.S. to implement blockchain-based mobile voting in their upcoming municipal primary election in August. Pilot will be powered by Voatz, a mobile elections platform driven by military-grade technology that ensures safety and ease for individuals voting anywhere in the world. The pilot will largely be used by troops serving abroad, who have traditionally had to rely on using absentee paper ballots, making it difficult to participate in elections. The overseas voter turnout was just 7% compared to a domestic turnout of 72% in 2016.
