VOTEM - Safe Mobile Voting Platform in Blockchain

THE MOST SAFE SAFETY PLATFORM
Votem simply believes it is easy to choose and can not be cheated; Our VAST Token (to be released in our upcoming token distribution event) together with the Proof of Vote ™ protocol and the CastIron ™ Elections Management Platform, enhances voting effectiveness by ensuring the integrity of the voting process, voter secrecy, and the validity of the results.

The Votem approach is rooted in an in-depth understanding of voter behavior and the demands of election officials and legislators. Unlike most blockchain based startups that seek appeal in the sound market, Votem is a well established company with existing products, revenue-generating customers, and proven track records. Votem has successfully run several US federal elections (2016 primary, general, and special elections) and counts over 8,200,000 online votes using blockchain.

TECHNOLOGY FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

There are hundreds of major elections around the world in a given year. By 2017, there are more than 70 large elections involving nearly 500 million voters, a number that do not include millions who vote in private associations, corporate proxy selection, voting, and market surveys. Unfortunately, despite the best intentions and efforts of election officials, the confidence in elections has plummeted, voting access levels have declined, and the cost for taxpayers has increased.

Votem was established to address this problem.

1. Restoring Trust 
   In an era where you can trace the package from the warehouse to your front door in real time, it is still almost impossible to know with 100% confidence that your vote is counted as cast. With CastIron ™, Votem's mobile band voting platform, we provide voters, election officials, and ultimately public groups and advocacy, the ability to verify every single vote as it is played. Finally, as a voter, you do not need to have blind trust that your voice is correctly counted, you can personally verify (without sacrificing anonymity) - very useful in a regime that may be less than reliable.
2. Improving access to voting 
   In a large survey by the US Census Bureau, the difficulty of reaching the election was the number one reason why people did not vote. We believe that allowing people to safely and securely vote online and through their mobile devices can increase the number of voters and raise voter engagement levels.
3. Saving taxpayer money 
   Election comes at a significant cost to taxpayers - which is rarely discussed. In the US, more than $ 1 billion is spent annually for election administration, or about $ 30 per voter. In Australia, federal election fees have increased by 15% since 1990 resulting in approximately $ 230 million in bills, or roughly $ 15 (AUD) per voter for the latest elections. The Votem platform can significantly reduce the cost of administrative elections and realize greater technological efficiency for organizations that want to run voting events while increasing the trust and accessibility of voters.

As governments and private organizations consider the best way to serve citizens and their members with a focus on restoring confidence in voting, improving access and conducting safe and well-run elections, we think it is important for them to think about the age of systems and methods deployed to ensure they will meet the changing needs of voters. We think it's important to consider the systems and methods of voting that are built for a future that the participants can trust rather than demand it; systems built for and guided by the dynamics of the voting they serve.

Token VAST
Token VAST is EIP-20 (formerly ERC-20) that matches the digital token issued by Votem Corp and is named after its four essential elements of the voting system (Verifiability, Accessibility, Security, Transparency). VAST Tokens, similar to enduring software licenses, are designed to improve voting properties of events for elections and the public by allowing a secure individual or organization access to the CastIron platform and its features in order to successfully operate the election.

The number of tokens required will be determined by the number of the voter candidates as well as the verification and security of the required features Once tokens are purchased, they may be used for a number of elections, but only for one vote at a time. Token VAST will support various validation of role-based requirements and functions for different Elections because not all elections require the same level of technical complexity or human validation as everyone else.

Function of Token Vast

VAST Token Standard Function

1. Creation of the Contest 
   Preparation of elections is often the most complex logistical selection process. The EMBs can use the CastIron selection management system to easily define the definition of election with all the support functions for the design and logic of voting (majority win, ranking selection, etc.).
2. Voter Registration 
   Voters register to participate in the election. The type of registration process is determined by EMB and can be automated or manual.
3. Votes The 
   voters can mark their voicemails on the device they choose. Sound will be equipped with all the accessibility features required to enable all voters, regardless of disability or access to the polls, to vote
4. Ballot Casting + Storage 
   A Vote Record Cast is made from voice mail and delivered securely and stored on a blockchain voting server that serves as an unchanging digital audit trail and a sound cast record.
5. 
   Voice tabulation is calculated according to election requirements. In US elections, they are sent to a separate server for calculation, while in any other election anyone can tabulate the results.
6. Reporting 
   The results are passed to a number of reporting sites for public release and certification
7. An 
   independent EMB audit or third party auditor can manage Risk Limit Audits, system audits, and other regulatory mandate assessments for election. Blockchain is a corel voice recording during the election and serves as an audit trail accessible to EMB and Election Validator authorized to obtain certification of results.

Platform Functions

1. Voter 
   Selection Authentication confirmed on election law requirements to participate. Biometric, eID, and external authentication (such as against voter registration rolls or Dept of Motor Vehicles) are all supported
2. Voice 
   Shot The correct voting is delivered to voters based on thousands of potential combinations of national, state, regional, district, district, and city contests.
3. Voice Encryption Voice 
   mail is encrypted before submission, preventing the parties from accessing and viewing unauthorized voter choice
4. External Vote Validation External 
   Validators, such as observation organizations and audit firms, may validate the validity of the ballot (ie from valid voters, locations, etc.) before being stored in blockchain.
5. Verify Voters in 
   accordance with the acceptance of QR-code that is secure on their vote against QR-code representation of the recorded voice recordings, which verify their votes are recorded as cast. The QR receipt that the voter receives will include no useful information about the Elector selector, only the ballot is kept, preventing voting or voter cases.
6. Anonymity Voters 
   Cast sound recording is mixed to ensure that it is not possible to track voters' choices back to individual voters. Mixing mathematical evidence available.
7. Sound Decryption The sound 
   can only be decrypted by predefined EMB members to prevent dishonest members from decrypting the ballot. Once the voice has been decrypted correctly, mathematical proof of decryption is offered to auditors and voters.

TOKEN SALES REVIEW
Pre-public sale will commence on 27 February 2018 17:00 UTC The token generation event will begin in Q3 2018.

• Maximum amount: $ 50,000 USD $ (equivalent to ETH) 
• Minimum contribution: $ 10,000 USD (equivalent to ETH) 
• Max VAST total supply: 300,000,000 (300M) VAST 
• Max VAST sold by crowdsale: 147,000,000 (147 million) VAST

Up to 147 million Tokens will be sold to the public, representing exactly 49% of the maximum offer of 300 million Tokens. If not all 147 million Tokens are sold, fewer tokens will be printed, to maintain a 49% ratio. For example, if only 100 million Tokens were sold, 100 million Tokens would represent 49% of the total supply, which would mean the total inventory of Token would be 204,081,633 million with all allocation ratios adjusted by prorated means.
