- The UN organizations YOUNGO, SDG7 and the WGC adopt the Electis voting system.
- More and more organizations are opting for the Tezos e-voting system.
Three UN organizations are introducing the Tezeos Electis e-voting system. Since its launch, Electis has grown in popularity. A number of pro-democracy organizations are already using Electis to conduct fair, open-source elections. They include government agencies and non-profit organizations.
Voting transparency is crucial for UN agencies as they affect decisions on climate change, carbon footprint and other critical global issues and how to solve them.
It is estimated that more than 20,000 voters in various organizations have now used the Electis voting system. Now three UN organizations are added:
The first is YOUNGO, the official children’s and youth organization of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UNFCCC is an umbrella organization for people under the age of 35. It is also the overarching body for youth NGOs who want the UNFCCC to hear the voices of youth.
These youth NGOs research and develop, among other things, catalogs of political measures in connection with climate change. They vote to ensure that the UNFCCC follows a clearly defined path over the long term. The SDG7 youth electorate is another UN organization using the Electis system. The purpose of this organization is to give youth a voice when it comes to decisions and policies in the energy sector.
After confirming the positive impact of the Electis voting system on SDG7 activities, the SDG7 organization announced that it intends to use this voting system for the organization’s elections this year and for many more election years to come.
The Women And Gender Constituency (WGC) is the third UN organization to use the Tezos e-voting system. The WGC is an umbrella organization for 28 non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Her main task is to ensure that women can demand and exercise their rights.
High acceptance of the Tezos e-voting system
In the past there have often been doubts about the transparency and accuracy of elections. The “Electis” system developed by Tezos for electronic, digital voting is intended to dispel such doubts reliably and comprehensibly.
In September last year, the French government tested Electis for use in the upcoming local elections. Kings College London, Ritsumeikan University in Japan and 78 other higher education institutions have also tested, approved and adopted Electis. Electis is a fully encrypted, anonymous e-voting system.
Electis has continued to boost the reputation and popularity of the Tezos blockchain, even as its other high-profile Tezos projects and collaborations have become less popular. The increasing worldwide acceptance of Electis and other Tezos blockchain projects should continue to have a positive effect on the in-house token in the future.
