so blockchain says it has these advantages:

1. safety and transparency. nobody can forge any fake transaction.
2. anonymous. person identity is protected.
3. user controlled network. no centralized controls to abuse the result.

so why can't a blockchain system be created and give every voter and candidate one wallet. voter wallet will receive 1 coin. candidate wallet 0 coin. voters send their coin to their intended candidate on election day. all political parties and interested voters can run their own mining software to process the payment transactions.

at end of the day, count the coins in candidate wallet. the candidate with most coins win.

Too inefficient. Computing requirement for over 12 million in a day.
Electric consumption through the roof.

well i just randomly looks for some statistics, some claimed monero can at least process 400 transactions per second

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/...-network-handle

with 400 TPS, 1 hour = 400 x 3600 = 1,440,000

malaysia has 30 millions populations. 1.4 millions per hour does not seem to be sufficient. but if we use a different network for each electoral district, with around 222 districts we only have like 135000 transactions per district. it is well within the processing capacity of each network.
