Switzerland’s First Blockchain-Based Municipal Vote

Between June 25 and July 1, residents of Zug will test with a non-binding blockchain-based municipal vote.

Zug (total population as december 2016, 29,804 habitants) is known as the Crypto Valley due to the large number of companies engaged in cryptocurrency in the town and inspired by the enormous advantages of global industry clusters.

Last year, Zug municipality introduced the world’s first live implementation of publicly verified blockchain identity enabling to access a new suite of e-government services.
