The first votes were held in Greece around 400 BC. Similar to current elections, it was a vote to select representatives, but unlike modern democracies, not all citizens have the right to vote.

After that, a democracy did not appear for about 2,000 years, but the French Revolution occurred due to the huge tax policy of the French royal family, and it was reborn as a democracy from the royal system. After the revolution, representatives were selected by voting, and this is the beginning of today’s elections.

The history of voting started with heavy topics such as politics, but these days, voting is also conducted on very trivial topics such as lunch menus or hobbies. This is because public participation is very easy, and it is the most reliable way to gather opinions.

Pollchain paid attention to the participation of such public voting and created a new type of knowledge sharing community by combining voting and blockchain. Based on this, Pollchain creates a transparent and healthy voting environment.
