The rural Raspberry Pi nodes storing ballots offline are clever.. but what happens if a malicious actor tampers with a device before it syncs? Are ZKPs enough to prevent double votes if the same citizen also voted online?
The white paper presents an interesting approach to secure e-voting using blockchain. I’m curious about the real-world side of this. Has BD-VoteNet been tested in any pilot environments, and if so, what kind of adoption or usability challenges came up? Theory is one thing, but elections can be very messy in practice.
BD-VoteNet is an electronic voting system that uses practically the same cryptographic and blockchain technology that secures financial transactions worth trillions of dollars every day.
The idea of its functioning is straightforward, but it contains great power:
Keeping a record of every vote cast.
Verification of the way the votes were counted.
There is no way a single authority can reverse the outcome of the election.
residing almost 13 million kilometres away have little, if any, access to voting.
I really doubt any Bangladeshi (or in fact any human resides 13 million kms away - unless of course, we decide to use a relative origin point 13 million kms away and claim this post was written from Asteroid Apophis :D

Feel free to download the white-paper and evaluate it for any errata and suggest improvements. Thank you :)
Missing a title space... what is the security code missing?
I don't understand the question. Would you mind clarifying
hilarious errata:
