The Expanse Project, a fault tolerant cloud computer built on blockchain technology to censorship resistant applications, and Borderless.tech has announced the development of a new blockchain-based voting platform that has the potentials to change the dynamics of future elections.

The official release stated that the platform provides a facility for voting on an immutable blockchain, storing the votes forever and tamper-proof, across the globe. Expanse runs on a decentralized application platform designed to allow more efficient mining and enabling dApp developers to create more powerful applications and innovations.

"Election night is coming soon for the U.S., so now is a great time to talk about the advantages of voting using the Expanse blockchain. The current voting systems people use are archaic and have absurdities like 'hanging chads,' with people counting and recounting. The results continually come into question, and all indications are that the results of this year's U.S. presidential election will be particularly dubious," Christopher Franko, co-founder and lead developer of Expanse said.

The new prototyped voting system will monitor one person, one vote and will also record any form of cheating or fraudulent votes on the blockchain to ferret out later. Customers can cast their vote using the Expanse blockchain demo.

“This makes for a great time to vote on the Expanse blockchain yourself with our new decentralized voting application. While there is no identity system attached to this yet, and this is a tech demonstration rather than actual voting, this Dapp can still show how easy, accurate, and tamper-proof future voting on the blockchain could be, unlike archaic systems in use today," James Clayton, Expanse co-founder and Community Manager said.

Recently, the Blockchain Technologies Corp. (BTC) released new web app ‘VoteWatcher’ that allows voters to report suspicious behavior at polling sites on election day.
