Why the Philippines Needs Blockchain Elections
Electoral Integrity
Challenge: Persistent concerns about vote-counting machine accuracy and allegations of manipulation undermine public trust.
Our Solution: Transparent blockchain ledger where every vote is independently verifiable, eliminating any possibility of undetected tampering.
Island Geography
Challenge: Distributing voting equipment and ballots across 7,641 islands requires enormous logistical coordination.
Our Solution: Digital voting eliminates physical ballot distribution, with offline-capable mobile voting for remote island communities.
Violence Prevention
Challenge: Election-related violence and intimidation remain ongoing concerns in certain regions.
Our Solution: Remote digital voting reduces physical congregation at polling sites, while anonymous blockchain verification prevents vote coercion.
Machine Reliability
Challenge: Automated counting machines have experienced failures and controversial discrepancies in past elections.
Our Solution: Distributed blockchain eliminates single points of failure, with mathematical proof of accurate counting.
OFW Voting
Challenge: 10+ million Overseas Filipino Workers have limited and cumbersome voting options through embassies.
Our Solution: Secure digital voting enabling full participation for OFWs anywhere in the world.
Cost Reduction
Challenge: COMELEC spends billions of pesos on voting machines, ballots, and logistics each election cycle.
Our Solution: Reduce election costs by 55% through digital infrastructure while improving reliability and transparency.
