Why Spain Needs Blockchain Elections
Frequent Elections
Challenge: Political fragmentation has led to repeated elections when coalition formation fails, causing voter fatigue.
Our Solution: Digital voting dramatically reduces the cost and logistical burden of snap elections, making democratic processes more sustainable.
Autonomous Diversity
Challenge: 17 autonomous communities with different electoral systems and co-official languages create complexity.
Our Solution: Flexible platform supporting various D'Hondt allocation systems with full multilingual support in all co-official languages.
Overseas Voting
Challenge: Complex CERA registration and voting procedures discourage participation by Spanish citizens abroad.
Our Solution: Streamlined digital voting for all registered overseas Spanish voters, eliminating postal delays and bureaucratic barriers.
Regional Tensions
Challenge: Electoral transparency is crucial in contexts of regional political tensions and independence movements.
Our Solution: Mathematically verifiable results with public audit trails build trust across the political spectrum.
Cost of Repetition
Challenge: Repeated elections due to failed coalition talks waste hundreds of millions of euros.
Our Solution: Reduce per-election costs by 60%, making the democratic process financially sustainable even with frequent elections.
Youth Turnout
Challenge: Declining participation among younger voters who find traditional voting processes inconvenient.
Our Solution: Mobile-accessible voting designed for Spain's digitally native younger generation.
