Electis launches new Tezos-based Web3 voting platform for election results in a project with King’s College London Blockchain Society
KCL Blockchain and Electis joined forces to organize a decentralized voting project for community committee elections.
On Wednesday, March 29, the King’s College London Blockchain Society conducted its committee elections on the Blockchain-based e-voting solution.
“Voting is a completed use case for Blockchain technology and ensures fair internal governance. That’s why we decided to use Electis to guarantee an efficient, secure and transparent experience.”
– (Consultant Director in KCL Blockchain)
The solution is based on the Tezos blockchain, and candidates and voters are registered with their Tezos wallets.
Through a smart contract, the election winner automatically gets an NFT in their wallet as a token. KCL Blockchain consists of four work streams: Legal, Consulting, Technology and Operations. All streams have recently held leadership elections.
With the election, the committee has for the first time chosen its committee leaders with the Electis platform.
“With wallet login and NFT integration, we are implementing more Web3 features into our verifiable voting solution. It’s great to put it into practice for the first time with blockchain enthusiasts like Kings College Students.”
– (Lena Melcher, head of international partnerships at Electis)
Blockchain for voting has been a thematic focus for KCL Blockchain as the student blockchain association also researches the space, most recently publishing an article on blockchain and square voting.
Electis launched its Electis.app solution in 2020, which is used in citizen engagement projects and corporate voting.
For the KCL Blockchain election, the company has implemented Web3 features such as wallet login and smart contract execution of the vote, enabling the integration of NFTs into the election process.
Candidates and voters now have the option to be registered through their Tezos wallets, and election results are carried out through smart contracts.
In the KCL Blockchain election, this happened through the automatic transfer of an NFT to the newly elected leaders of the work stream committees.
