I spoke to Ferran Reyes and Pau Escrich, co-founders of Vocdoni, a blockchain based voting protocol used by several non-web3 organizations. They were born out of the Catalan independence movement in Spain from which they have designed Vocdoni to be censorship resistant and friendly to your average non-web3 user.

During the episode we discussed some of the elections  where Vocdoni was used, the cryptographic primitives that make it all possible and the learnings they have had in their journey so far. We also discussed DAVINCI, their latest evolution of the Vocdoni voting protocol.
