Voting and elections were headline news in 2020 and the drama even continues today. Unfounded claims of voting irregularities were common, particularly when the voting process involved any sort of electronic equipment or software.

Does electronic voting have a place in the voting process? Is it secure? Is it reliable? Can it satisfy all the requirements of voting? --- A process seems simple at the surface but definitely has subtle complexities.

The Future of Money, Governance, and the Law examines voting and how electronic or e-voting is being promoted and adopted in --- of all places --- Paris.

We have two experts on e-voting. These gentlemen are not just experts, but I would say they are global leaders in the field of promoting e-voting and getting it adopted through their non-profit company, Electis.

Electis, is a non-profit do-tank focused on e-voting and managing a community of academics and students from over 50 universities globally as well as NGOs and others passionate about this space. 

They organize low-stake elections with various institutions, including the UK government (election representatives of the youth for the COP26), the French national assembly, and local municipalities. 

Electis’ core value is that e-democracy tools should all be open-source, and this is the case with the voting app we have developed with the Tezos Foundation.
