Claim 3:
4. A system of conducting an election comprising:
a blockchain;
an application state for the blockchain, the blockchain application state being configured to be modified through sequential and deterministic processing of a blockchain transaction ledger, the blockchain application state having an entry for each registrar, each entry having the registrar's public key, the blockchain application state further having an entry for each issued ballot;
a blockchain application comprised of computer logic executed against each transaction in the blockchain transaction ledger, a prior application state being an input parameter to the blockchain application, the content of at least one blockchain transaction being an input to the blockchain application thereby creating a newly mutated application state that is the result of logic executed in the blockchain application, the resulting application state being stored in a blockchain database and a digest of the resulting application state being stored on the blockchain ledger, the thus-modified blockchain application state being an input parameter for subsequent transactions and determining how the blockchain application state is modified by subsequent transactions;
the digest of the blockchain application state stored on the blockchain;
an administration server in communication with the blockchain for providing election content;
a registrar in communication with the blockchain for authenticating voter identity and issuing ballots; and
a ballot casting apparatus in communication with the blockchain.
