I am currently participating in a blockchain hackathon. Our group has pivoted away from doing a government-based blockchain e-vote system because of proof of identity &#x2F; voter fraud problems. We are considering doing a lottery system based on voter turnout.<p>I would really appreciate if you let me know more about your opinions on why &#x2F; why not voting should be done on blockchain. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;forms&#x2F;d&#x2F;e&#x2F;1FAIpQLSfTpjHU_weirIWMMLycnDEHWzv6untiQVPnHcMuFE5WI6PL7Q&#x2F;viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;forms&#x2F;d&#x2F;e&#x2F;1FAIpQLSfTpjHU_weirIWMMLyc...</a>

Blockchain is a bad fit for voting. Cryptographers have thought about electronic voting for a long time already, and the requirements look nothing like what blockchain provides.
