Like what you read? The first partially blockchain-based election in the US was carried out during West Virginia's primary on 8 May. The trial was restricted to deployed military members and other citizens allowed to vote absentee under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. It was also limited to voters in two of 55 counties: Harrison and Monongalia. West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner may seek to roll out the system to all UOCAVA voters in the state for the general election later this year, pending an audit of the trial.
