Votem Launches Proof of Vote Protocol Providing an End-to-End Voter Verified Digital Voting SystemCLEVELAND, March 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Votem is releasing its Proof of Vote protocol (POV), a blueprint for end-to-end voter verified (E2EVV) digital voting systems that uses blockchain to ensure the verifiability, security, and transparency of an election, to members of the public for review and comment.

POV provides the operational and technical framework for operating a fully E2E verifiable election, from contest creation to individual vote tallying.

As it is Votem's hope that POV will be the international standard for blockchain voting systms, the company is opening the protocol to certain members of the public for review. Votem is seeking professionals from either the blockchain or elections security spaces to read and comment on their protocol individually to help build the most accessible and functional platform possible.
