Election history was recently made as Sierra Leone became the first country to use blockchain technology to verify voting results in their presidential election.
Sierra Leone Region Makes History
The application of blockchain technology recorded another milestone recently. While the innovative technology has made tremendous strides in business, it is now putting its stamp upon the political sphere.
The country of Sierra Leone has the distinction of being the first to feature blockchain-verified voting in the country’s presidential election.
In last week’s presidential election in Sierra Leone, blockchain technology was used to verify voting results. However, the new tech was not used throughout the whole country. Rather, it was confined to the country’s most populous region.
