Proof-of-Vote

Liquid US uses special cryptography to allow public auditing of the vote record.

This system, known as Proof-of-Vote:

1. Allows anyone to verify that their vote is entered correctly and not tampered with.
2. Allows anyone to independently tabulate all of the votes themselves.
3. Preserves individual voter privacy.

For every vote cast by a verified person on Liquid, a record is published with the Position and a unique Vote ID.

What are Vote IDs?

Vote IDs are UUIDs with the following properties:

• Unique: Every individual vote has its own unique ID.
• Private: Vote IDs reveal nothing about the identity of the voter.

Are the votes ordered?

Yes, from oldest to newest.

If a vote is updated, the old vote is removed and a new vote is added at the bottom.
