Nepal has made history by electing its interim Prime Minister through a Discord vote, a first anywhere in the world.
Nepal’s Discord Vote opens the door to new ways for citizens. The goal is to engage with political processes that were traditionally slow, opaque, and limited to physical ballots.
Decentralized autonomous organizations, or DAOs, offer a model that could transform how governments operate. DAOs run on blockchain networks, using smart contracts to enforce rules automatically and record all decisions transparently. Every action taken by the DAO is visible and verifiable on the blockchain, reducing the risk of fraud or manipulation.
Nepal’s Discord-based vote is a real-world example of this potential. By using a digital platform, citizens could participate from anywhere, making the process more inclusive. Traditional elections often face logistical and financial hurdles, leaving many voters disenfranchised. DAOs, on the other hand, can operate continuously, allow weighted voting systems, and provide immediate feedback on proposals, making government more responsive and accountable.
The transparency of DAOs also encourages trust. By automatically executing rules without human interference, DAOs ensure that votes are counted fairly and that policies are implemented exactly as approved. In this tweet, you can see a context of what is happening in Nepal:
Amid the Gen Z-led anti-corruption protests in Nepal, the government took the drastic step of banning social media platforms across the board. Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and even WeChat were all blocked, cutting off traditional channels of online communication. Yet despite these restrictions, digital communities found ways to stay connected.
A friend in Nepal reported that Bitchat, an alternative messaging app, hosted over 250 participants in a single geohash channel, showing that tech-savvy citizens are finding creative ways to organize and share information even under heavy censorship.
