A Thailand government agency has developed a blockchain-based solution that's set to digitalize elections voting in the country.
According to a report from Bangkok Post on Thursday, Thailand's National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC), a unit of the Ministry of Science and Technology, has already completed the development of the system for blockchain-based voting and is looking for trial partners.
Chalee Vorakulpipat, head of the cybersecurity laboratory at NECTEC, was quoted as saying in the report:
"Nectec developed blockchain technology for e-voting that can be applied to national, provincial or community elections, as well as business votes such as the board of directors. The goal is to reduce fraud and maintain data integrity."At this stage, the agency is looking to test the blockchain system on a smaller scale, such as for elections in universities, provinces and communities, and is seeking partners for the test.
