The Blockchain based platform to count votes was an online platform developed by Blocko, which used Smart Contracts  enabled technology to facilitate the casting of votes. Blocko, the developer claimed that the Blockchain based platform to count votes was developed in-house. Not only the platform helped in voting process but also was able to collect and store huge chunk of information related to voters. All the votes casted, results,information and data was stored on an immutable Blockchain-ledger that is tamper-resistant.

The platform completely removed the necessity of involvement of any management or central authority to take care of the complete voting process. All the credit goes to Blockchain!!!
