Correct, and the company Votem has that locked up. There's no room for a little pink sheet penny stock company to sell voting machines. Absolutely ridiculous, which is why this stock if finally in full collapse mode.

Oh and here is a wrap up article I liked that said --1hr ago
https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2017/09/12/blockchains-and-voting/
"Wrapping up, it’s easy to see how blockchains are an exceptionally useful primitive that can help build voting systems, with particular value in verifying that the final tally is consistent with the cast ballot records. However, a good voting system needs to satisfy many additional properties which a blockchain cannot provide. While there’s an intellectual seduction to pretend that casting votes is no different than moving coins around on a blockchain, the reality of the problem is a good bit more complicated."

"Vote with your phone"
Probably best for opinion and sports polling but not mainstream. With as many vulnerabilities as online based and electronic voting machines have now , even though certified, having elections threw any Walmart bought special that can download a app doesn't give the safe feeling. Sure the Blockchain based app will record send your phones vote flawlessly , its a Blockchain after all, but the hardware/software under it is secure ? Pick your president on a prepaid, unless it's not you controlling your phone right ? Opps
Paper ballots must remain , the voting machines must stay, the best and Long lasting solution will surface and we have it.
Here is recent article on a Wifi bug for over 1Billion users of android and IPhones. Let's get the country on a app ??!
"But a modern computer or smartphone is a kind of silicon Frankenstein, with components sourced from third-party companies " Perfect foundation to give the executive seat of the United States.
"Without that fix, it would have allowed a hacker who comes within Wi-Fi range of a target not only to hack a victim's phone, but even to turn it into a rogue access point that would in turn infect nearby phones, quickly spreading from one device to the next in what Artenstein describes as the first Wi-Fi worm."
A motivated attacker with the future of the United States in play couldn't make use of that one if elections were phone based ?? T

“They can make it look like you’re touching one thing when you’re touching another,” says Palo Alto researcher Ryan Olson. “All they have to do is put an overlay a button over ‘activate this app to be a device admin’ and they’ve tricked you into giving them control of you"

Votem,FMV,bitcongress all good intentions but not first in this space and all having incomplete products for what the country requires currently and market they are attempting to capture. Only thing they are really doing is validating our Patented solution that is already binded with paper ballots and the newest hardware advancements from what the recent PR had said.
FMV is based is Virginia , like a punch in the gut.

Good read.
