A New York legislator has submitted a new bill that insists on integrating blockchain technology in elections to combat voters fraud and to improve election integrity.
Assemblyman Clyde Vanel (D-33) has submitted his A7716 assembly book, which, if accepted, commissioned the New York State Board of Elections to study the use of blockchain to protect election results and voter records. It would require the board to submit a report to the Governor and the State Meeting on the benefits and risks of the technology in the election process.
The bill requires that the council is involved with other states and countries that have implemented technology to secure their democracy and to consult leaders in the industry in blockchain, cyber security, voters fraud and election technology.
Vanel’s account makes the use of both public block chains and private, permitted ledgers possible, either anchored by Tokenomics or tokenless. The legislator believes that blockchain will offer ‘unchanging, auditable and uncensored truth’.
Vanel has submitted his bill to the election law committee, which will debate and votes. If a majority of the committee members before voting, it goes to the floor of the meeting, then the Senate is handed over to Governor Kathy Hochul for her signature.
It is Vanel’s second blockchain account this year. A month ago he submitted Bill A06515, who is looking for heavy penalties for ‘crypto’ founders who orchestrate carpet tracts. Last year, investors lost more than $ 500 million in carpet tracts, according to a report from Merkle Science.
In the meantime, the bill is the newest in America’s blockchain and digital assets -push. Although the country has been the leader in the sector for years, the elections of Donald Trump accelerated the growth of the sector with new agreements and legislation. Memecoins and speculative assets were the first to benefit, but this growth spreads to any facet of industry, in which states pass on blockchain-friendly instructions to adapt to Trump’s agenda.
Such a determining account is HB230 in Utah, who signed Governor Spencer Cox in the law two weeks ago. The bill protects the rights of residents to operate blockchain nodes, make digital payments and use hosted portfolios yourself.
Major Malaysian political party uses Blockchain in internal elections
Beyond the US wins blockchain integration in elections. In Malaysia, one of the most important political parties in the country has become the first to integrate technology to improve the integrity of the elections.
The Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), a reformist political party whose leader is the prime minister of Malaysia, has implemented Blockchain in his continuous internal elections.
The party-general of the party, Fuziah Salleh, revealed that it will integrate technology at regional and national level for more transparency and safety. Votes for regional functions started on 11 April and will be closed on April 20. Central leadership elections, including for the presidency, will be in May.
“We have introduced a two -step verification process to ensure transparency. The first step includes electronic ‘know your customer’ (EKYC) verification, which confirms the identity of the party member before registering for e -voices,” she explained, as reported by local media.
“The second step is E-fight with the help of blockchain technology, where the ID of every registered voter is coded and unique. This ensures that no unauthorized votes can be cast because a coded ID cannot be duplicated.”
PKR has nearly 300,000 members who are eligible to vote for these elections. According to Salleh, only 3% opted to physically throw their ballot papers. The rest will use the blockchain-driven electronic voting system.
“This step makes PKR the first political party in Malaysia to implement a comprehensive technological approach in the internal democratic process. It reinforces our role as a pioneer of progressive political reforms based on technology,” remarked Zaliha Mustafa, leading the party’s election committee.
While some countries such as Blockchain from Malaysia trial in smaller elections where the bet is not that high, such as Romania, went out completely. The Eastern European Nation used Blockchain in his presidential elections last November. The country anchored the digital fingerprints of the voters on a network built on top of the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI).
