Implementation ( even with modifications
) would be a reward , in itself
Warm Regards,

Dear Hemenji
This proposition of yours should be irresistible to
the GOI for the sheer convenience, cost, transparency, confidentiality, all
inclusiveness and immediacy of the access to the ongoing data. Simply
marvelous, indeed.
My reverential bow to your never-say-die spirit in
continuing to come out with original ideas and suggestions for their
implementation, irrespective of tardy response from the government authorities.
A day, however, will come when your unselfish & inspirational contribution
will be publicly recognized and, hopefully, rewarded, too.
Warm regards and best wishes = Gurudatt

Block
Chain for Voting ?
----------------------------
Shri
Ravi Shankar Prasadji posted following on LinkedIn, two days back :
Met Ms. Urve Palo, the Minister of
Entrepreneurship and Information Technology of the Republic of Estonia in
my office today. We discussed ways to deepen the bilateral relationship between
India and Estonia, which are both recognised as IT superpowers. We have
identified cyber-security as an area for closer cooperation in addition to
promoting exchange of students and facilitating our start-ups.
That
elicited 1183 Likes and 44 comments , where I commented :
Totally support Devanand in matter of
learning from Estonia on how to conduct online elections
And now , BLOCKCHAIN technology guarantees
transparency . Pl read :
Today
, I found further confirmation of possibility of using BLOCKCHAIN for elections at :
where,
the following paras are worth reading :
Permissioned block-chains aren’t quite the same as public block-chains,
like those supporting the crypto-currencies bitcoin. While anyone can validate
transactions on a public block-chain, only authorized persons can validate
transactions on a permissioned block-chain.
In the case of the Sierra Leone election, the
authorized parties included people from Agora, the Red
Cross, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and the University of
Freiburg.
However, like a public block-chain, anyone can view
transactions recorded on a permissioned block-chain. That means that once the
groups managing the block-chain verified the Sierra Leone votes, anyone —
voters, candidates, or just interested third parties — could see the
election results.
Agora’s use of block-chain for the
Sierra Leone election isn’t the company’s ultimate vision for the technology.
Eventually, the start-up hopes to eliminate the use of paper ballots
altogether, allowing voters to cast their votes via personal electronic
devices. This will cut down on election costs, increase voter accessibility,
and eliminate a potential avenue for corruption.
Dear Shri Ravi Shankar Prasadji,
Only in Nov 2017 , you said :
Follow @rsprasad
Blockchain is redefining the world of
technology. Delighted that the world is here in Delhi to discuss Blockchain at @gccsofficial.
I
urge you to consider incorporating this Block-Chain Technology in the following Mobile App proposed by me :
VotesApp [ 18
Aug 2013 ]
This
incorporation would be even better ( as far as transparency is concerned ) than
the current method of V-VPAT in EVM !
VotesApp will ensure that any voter can get to see ( proof
) of who
( which person ) he voted for , in which
election ( Municipal or State or National ) and when – apart from ensuring “ No fake / invalid votes “ !
A
complete history of his voting during lifetime – but, which he alone can access
on his mobile through his biometrics !
Now
imagine aggregation of the voting behaviour of 800 million voters at gross /
macro level and totally anonymized – and accessible
to anyone on EC’s web site !
This
could reveal following types of trends / analytics :
· No of
Votes
· Percentage
of voters
· Vote
share ( party wise )
· State /
Region wise
· Gender
wise
· Vote
swings / Anti Incumbency factors………. Etc
Such BIG DATA analytics might even make it possible
to “ predict “ the future voting patterns
!
With
incorporation of Block-Chain ( into VotesApp ) , opposition will be left with no arguments to
oppose SIMULTANEOUS ELECTIONS !
