Gregard revealed that the Cardano Foundation has received inquiries from U.S. states seeking assistance in developing blockchain solutions to improve transparency and accountability in voting processes. He emphasized the need to analyze whether the state can develop such a solution within the specified deadline. Despite his enthusiasm for the potential of blockchain technology in voting systems, Gregaard expressed concern about the challenges associated with it, especially meeting each state’s implementation deadlines.
