Brazil Looks To Ethereum As A Solution To Its Popular Petition Problem
Popular petitions is a way of allowing people in Brazil to present referendums or legislation to the Brazilian congress.
If 1% of the total population (which is 1.45 million citizens) signed a certain petition, then it is presented to congress.
However, the current system used in transporting and verifying them is already inefficient and outdated.
An initiative has been presented where Ethereum blockchain goes into the picture.
The entire process will be ran through the blockchain such as storing and recording of signatures, which makes it possible to easily verify the authenticity of the signatures.
