Inspiration

This is a Social Good project. Our inspiration is to empower citizens to be able to vote freely and at their own convenience.

Voter turnout, voter suppression, voter caging and other types of voter fraud are problems that can be addressed by allowing an online voting alternative to traditional voting with physical ballots.

Advances in technology cannot be ignored forever in the voting space, citizens want the convenience of online applications that they have in almost all other industries.

What it does

Our Cosmos Blockchain application allows citizens to:

  1. Authenticate with biometrics, private keys and/ or government issued ID
  2. Vote for their chosen candidate
  3. See their vote confirmation
  4. View their voting history
