The New York State Assembly is exploring the use of blockchain technology in electoral processes. Clyde Vanel, a representative of the New York State Assembly, has proposed an initiative to assess how blockchain can enhance election transparency and reduce fraud. This initiative comes as interest in digital assets in the United States has grown post-government change, with several states considering laws for public investment in Bitcoin (BTC) and the use of blockchain in infrastructure and governmental transparency. The decentralized structure of blockchain can provide an additional layer of security against manipulation and misinformation in elections.
