Any thoughts on blockchain based voting systems? Been reading about the potential of the publicly verifiable ledger system and it’s applications in the electoral process. Seems like an interesting digital transformation case.

Solution in search of a problem. Almost every blockchain idea fails at the point where humans are entering transactions into the blockchain.

There are plenty of prior solutions for distributed databases and immutable ledgers. Blockchain doesn’t fair any better for the counting process than those existing technologies.

What blockchain cannot solve is the trust hole around the machines used to record votes, and the the prevention of fraudulent votes.


The problems blockchain can solve is when you don’t trust the nodes doing processing, you don’t care about trusting the nodes doing input, but you do want to trust the immutable ledger. If you can trust the nodes doing processing, or you don’t need immutability, then blockchain is an unnecessary complication. If you need to trust the nodes doing input, then blockchain doesn’t solve your security problem. This is why you aren’t seeing many real-world implementations. There really aren’t many problems that fit those criteria. Currency is the best use-case, if you ignore that most currency-issuing authorities view mutable control of their currency to be a feature.

Somewhat tangential - the issue of vote fraud in the US is largely a red herring. It’s an incredibly small number and we have very good systems for detection and prevention. The countries that do experience significant voter fraud have no interest in adopting systems that will make it harder to abuse.

Service design seems a popular role in consulting in the past year or so, certainly seeing more grads go down this route. Is there much overlap with business analysis?

I’m wondering how easy a move would be from business analysis to service design...
