Our voting systems are dangerously outdated.
 
With the Mayor of London elections in less than two weeks, ensuring that the ballot is free, fair and easy to participate in has never been more important.
 
And yet, at the heart of our democracy, the one thing that struck me about the election process here in our nation’s capital when I first stood as a candidate in 2021 is how Victorian the way we vote is.
 
To manage the election, the Electoral Commission and its regional branch, London Elects, operate a paper-based labyrinth of processes at its count venues across the city.
 
As we approach the threshold of a technology revolution, isn’t it time we replace this risky and difficult electoral system with a new, blockchain-enabled solution?
 
While no one knows how much influence voter fraud and malicious actors have already had on our elections, as the geo-political landscape becomes more fraught, it’s only a matter of time before the core of our democracy is shaken because of organised vote-rigging.
 
The other thing that no-one wants to talk about is the voter turnout levels, which in 2021 were a mere 42%... less than half of the registered voters even turned up at the polls.
 
Blockchain-enabled elections afford a series of benefits, including minimising the risk of vote tampering through the immutability of ledger-based data, safeguarding against cyberattacks by using decentralised systems and delivering frictionless identity management, meaning that the voting process itself can be taken online.

We need to ensure that our voting systems inspire participation and confidence in the democratic process. Which it’s why it’s time to start leveraging the power of the blockchain to deliver elections we can all be part of and results we can all believe in.
 
As the May 2nd election day approaches, I believe that Londoners want a leader who will push for changes to the voting system to enable more people to participate in our democratic system.

Vote for me, Brian Rose and the London Real Party, and together, we can transform our city.
