TIVI Powers the World’s First Blockchain Government Election
In March 2016, the Utah Republican Party needed a way to let registered members vote remotely in the state’s presidential caucus, including tens of thousands living abroad. TIVI delivered online voting secured by blockchain technology, making this the first government election in the world to use it.
Reaching Voters Across 45 Countries
The challenge was access: eligible voters were scattered across the globe, with no practical way to participate through traditional channels. TIVI gave them a secure, verifiable option from any internet-connected device. The results were immediate:
- 89% online turnout among registered online voters
- Voters participated from 45 countries, including French Polynesia, South Africa, and Japan
- Participation spanned all age groups, from voters in their 20s to voters in their 80s
By the Numbers
- 24,486 voters cast ballots online
- 27,490 voters registered to participate online
- 73 seconds: average time to complete a ballot
- 40 minutes to deliver final results
- 94% rated the experience as good
- 97% said they would vote online again in a future election
- 82% said online voting should be available nationwide
Beyond This Election
- Participation across any geography. Voters abroad can participate from wherever they are, without traveling to a consulate or relying on postal delivery.
- Blockchain as an auditable foundation. End-to-end encryption combined with blockchain gives election authorities a verifiable record that every vote was recorded as cast.
- Broad demographic reach. High turnout across all age groups shows that accessible design removes friction for the full electorate, not just younger voters.
- Fast, credible results. Results delivered in 40 minutes demonstrate that online voting can meet the speed expectations of modern elections without sacrificing integrity.
