feel_the_needon Ask HN: What would you vote for on a blockchain-based e-vote?

I am currently participating in a blockchain hackathon. Our group has pivoted away from doing a government-based blockchain e-vote system because of proof of identity / voter fraud problems. We are considering doing a lottery system based on voter turnout.

I would really appreciate if you let me know more about your opinions on why / why not voting should be done on blockchain. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfTpjHU_weirIWMMLyc...
