Why Ghana Needs Blockchain Elections
Biometric Challenges
Challenge: Biometric voter verification technology has experienced failures and inconsistencies at polling stations.
Our Solution: Advanced multi-factor biometric verification with fallback authentication, ensuring no voter is disenfranchised by technical issues.
Result Collation
Challenge: Manual result collation across multiple levels creates delays and opportunities for disputes.
Our Solution: Real-time blockchain-based result recording at every level, with instant verification and no manual collation errors.
Electoral Violence
Challenge: Post-election tensions and violence remain a concern, particularly around close results.
Our Solution: Transparent, mathematically verifiable results build public confidence and reduce grounds for disputes and violence.
Infrastructure
Challenge: Rural northern regions lack reliable infrastructure for consistent election administration.
Our Solution: Offline-capable mobile voting with satellite synchronization for areas with limited connectivity.
Cost Pressures
Challenge: Ghana's elections cost billions of cedis, straining limited government resources.
Our Solution: Reduce election costs by 50% while improving transparency, accuracy, and public confidence.
Diaspora Voting
Challenge: 3+ million Ghanaians abroad cannot participate in elections.
Our Solution: Secure digital voting enabling full participation for the Ghanaian diaspora worldwide.
