According to Cointelegraph, Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar announced that blockchain technology will be applied to the state’s election certification process.
Aguilar said the move will ensure the integrity of the election, and blockchain technology can prevent tampering or forgery of important documents and ensure that the certification process is transparent and credible.
There is little information available about the implementation details, and it is unclear whether the state has developed a proprietary blockchain or used existing technology. The election certification process will be recorded on the blockchain, which will become the official election ledger.
Nevada's move comes after six Republicans were indicted on charges of "fake electors" in 2023 and is aimed at strengthening election integrity.
