Show βΌ
The Philippines conducted its 2025 midterm elections using zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology to secure online voting. Over 82% of eligible voters participated, and the system withstood 75,000 breach attempts. The initiative allowed 1.2 million overseas voters to cast ballots digitally. The system ensured vote integrity, anonymity, and quick auditing through end-to-end encryption and immutable ledgers. The Philippines' successful implementation of ZKP-based online voting highlights the potential for secure, verifiable digital elections. This approach could address security and efficiency concerns in voting processes globally, particularly in regions with large overseas populations. The system's resilience against cyberattacks and its ability to provide mathematical proof of vote accuracy were crucial in maintaining election integrity.
