Votem CEO Pete Martin states:
In any functioning democratic institution, people’s trust is paramount; especially trust in free and fair elections. Unfortunately despite the best intentions of elections bodies, trust in elections is at an all-time low. Votem was founded to restore trust and access back to voting events and the VAST Token and related CastIron platform are designed to provide a level of security and verifiability that’s lacking in most countries. And with the recent news of nation states’ past and continued interference in national elections, our work has never been more important.
The public presale which opens February 27, 2018, is only open to accredited investors with limitations for individuals from certain countries. To find out more and to register as an accredited investor, please visit www.votem.io and join the official telegram channel (https://t.me/votem_ICO).
