According to recent report, election is a mean by which people exercise their right to vote for their choice base on individuals of any citizen, that is to say,  without election in any group of people gathering be it association, organization or in country of any nation, any leader of any group of people representing in a means of appointment might not be every body's choice in that group, that is why election is necessary to maintain equity and uniformity while Blockchain is known as a popular place for buying, storing and trading Bitcoin electronically. there is a new blockcain app from a team of MIT engineers called voatz mainly for voting.  After reverse-engineering Voatz’s Android app, the researchers concluded that an attacker who compromised a voter’s phone would be able to observe, suppress, and alter votes nearly at will. Network attacks could also reveal where a given user was voting and potentially suppress votes in the process, the paper claims, it uses Blockchain Technology to make fraud detectable. 

CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE APP TO BLOCKCHAIN

Blockchain is strong and it changing stile allows the mobile apps to believe on it. It also, prevent system against any possible crash. As the app data is stored on numerous blocks interconnected via a blockchain network, it protects the system from any form of data tampering. It's easy to work with.  At the moment, most mobile apps use a server-client system. The user phone acts as a client while the data end is the server that sends information to the client or user phone on demand. The network connecting both ends get severely stressed when there is a  large number of clients using the server network. Blockchain network can help bring down the stress by a considerable margin and granting quicker information display, which is very important and necessary. 

NEGETIVITY OF THE APP

Base on the app, it requires training among people on how to use it and even requires the matching of ones picture, that is to say, every body might not have knowledge about how  to operate and even manage the app voting system in the blockchain. Another is the network issue, network can fail at any given time at a given period which might make every body not to participate in the voting of the election. Another is that it requires enough money or capital, without money in any business, that business is entiled not to function well, that is to say, money is needed to purchase enough of the voatz voting app which every country might not be able to provide.  Susan Eustis, President of WinterGreen Research told Cointelegraph that she expects COVID-19 to accelerate its adoption:“We anticipate that the digital voting app will roll out quickly, just as the telemedicine market was eclipsed by virtual care delivery from Cisco WebEx and Zoom. Physicians went from doing 200 televisits per year to 36,000 per week within the past month. The same market driving forces impact voting as impact healthcare delivery. The WinterGreen Research team notified that Virtual voting is the best of any recommended solutions for social distancing and mitigating the spread of COVID-19.”
