Democracy and blockchain technology

Abstract

This article aims to establish a confluence between the development of blockchain technology and the evolution of democratic processes. Results: despite the promises of transparency and audibility that electronic voting systems seem to offer, parsimony and technological maturity are necessary requirements to build an electronic democracy based on blockchain technology. Methodology: hypothetical-deductive procedure method, with a qualitative approach and a bibliographic-documentary research technique.

Keywords:
Blockchain; Electronic Democracy; Elections
