Modern elections are marked by strong societal polarization, rising populism, and the influence of social media, which complicates political dialogue and fuels misinformation. Digitalization brings security risks to voting processes, while declining trust in democratic institutions leads to lower turnout. Economic and global issues, such as crises and climate change, shape the agenda, while the younger generation introduces new values, shifting expectations of politicians.

Cryptocurrencies can play a role in increasing transparency and security in voting processes by utilizing blockchain technology, helping to rebuild trust in democratic institutions.
