Blockchain Technologies Corp. (BTC), the New York-based innovator in blockchain-based voting solutions, has announced that it has been chosen by the New York Libertarian Party (NYLP) to provide balloted-election services during the party's 2016 state convention.

The NYLP 2016 State Convention will occur on April 30th and will feature party elections, a presidential debate, a seminar on effective dissent, and a live musical performance. It will cover election of officers, members of State Committee and delegates to National Convention, nomination of US Senate candidate, and approval of proposed by-law amendments. Election results will be permanently recorded on Bitcoin and Florincoin blockchains.

"Recent headlines show problems during the presidential primaries -- voting machines not working on election day, allegations of fraud, and registered voters being turned away from the polls." said Nick Spanos, CEO of Blockchain Technologies Corp. "As the world's premier democracy, the US must set an example for others to follow. BTC is bringing trust, transparency, and efficiency to elections, and thereby restoring faith in democracy and increased voter enfranchisement."

Blockchain technology enables the creation of publicly viewable, time-stamped, signed records that are, once entered, virtually impossible to alter or delete. All election data, down to each individual ballot, is permanently recorded on a public blockchain database.

Recently, BTC provided similar voting services for the Libertarian Party of Texas' (LPTexas) 2016 State Convention.

"I was very impressed with Blockchain Technologies Corp.'s services and greatly appreciated how much they went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the success of our elections and our convention”, said LPTexas Convention Chairman Kurt Hildebrand.
