Digital Voter ID

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re wondering how we will onboard a majority of world citizens onto a brand new voter ID system? We plan on partnering with world governments and complying with their local rules and regulations.

As an example, every U.S. citizen is assigned a social security number at birth. For the United States we would tie each individual citizens social security number to a unique voter ID that is issued on the Cardano blockchain.

From there citizens will be able to monitor their vote in real time as votes are tallied. This shows transparency and gives no room for fraud or ballot harvesting. As well as protecting the individuals right to vote.

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

This proposed solution will solve the challenge of voter fraud and non-transparent elections by publicizing all votes and counting in real time. Additionally, there can be no duplicate votes, extra votes, deceased citizens voting, under age voting, non-citizen voting, or criminals voting.

The system will be fixed.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

The main risk we face is political opposition from the Republican and Democratic Party(s) of the United States. Additionally, world governments may be opposed to changing the current corrupt system as it would not serve their current agenda.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

The first step in this plan is to build the infrastructure required for onboarding citizens. We must have a product that we can present to governments proving it is tamper proof and will benefit citizens worldwide.

The second step is to start onboarding citizens into the new system while running mock elections with beta test users. Finding any bugs and preventing voter fraud in the new system.

The third and final step is to allow the system to be accessible to the public. Removing any central authority from controlling the votes.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

The $50,000 requested will be used to create the initial infrastructure that will be used to test mock elections with a select group of beta users.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

Developers of Haskell will be hired with private funding as well as Catalyst funding.

[FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

Yes, when we are successful we may return to Catalyst for further funding.

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or any member of your team working on any other proposals in this Fund9?

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or your team working on any other proposals from previous Funds?

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

We will be active on the Cardano Reddit community, YouTube, as well as a public test net.

[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

Full scale voter IDs for citizens worldwide. Voter fraud eliminated, corruption curbed, free voting for all.

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.
