It all began with a simple question:
How could we make voting safer and easier? We wanted to bring a level of integrity back to our elections that had never been seen before. And that’s how VoteApp came to be.
About Us
Our voting system is broken.
Right now, our voting system reflects all the issues of our society: inequality, corruption, and a lack of accountability and transparency. Imagine if access to voting was equalized, votes were publicly validated, our government was held fully accountable by the
people, and elections were protected from hacking, tampering, and outside influences?
Blockchain Takes Voting to the Next Level
This is the future that Vote App achieves with Blockchain. VoteApp makes voting accessible, transparent and secure. Election results can be held accountable by valid votes. Recounts will not take days and thousands of tax dollars.
Blockchain technology holds the solution to every major problem that our voting system has faced since the beginning of our democracy.
Voter fraud, intimidation, and suppression is putting the health of our democracy at risk.
Ballot discrepancies and falsification of results occurs in every election, making us doubt if our votes even count.
Decades-old voting machines are falling apart at polling places, and it would cost $3 billion to replace our country’s voting machines.
Cyber hacking is a serious threat acknowledged by the heads of the CIA, Department of Homeland Security, and National Intelligence Community.
America’s voting system has lost its legitimacy
and is on the verge of collapse. And for the modern world’s first democracy, this is not acceptable. This is why, when our team witnessed the emergence of blockchain technology, we thought,
“Why hasn’t this been done yet?”
It just makes sense. We already have the technology to revolutionize voting. As thought leaders of the free world, we should bring our outdated and corrupted voting process up to date for the 21st century. It’s time for a change.
