Meiji Yasuda Life to adopt blockchain technology for shareholder voting

Japan, Nov. 30, 2020 /AlexaBlockchain/ – Japanese life insurer, Meiji Yasuda Life, is planning to use blockchain e-voting solution for shareholder meetings in July 2021.

In the aftermath of COVID-19, both the Japanese government and the Japanese Business Federation, Keidanren, have recommended alternative approaches to enable shareholders to vote at corporate meetings without attending in person.

Last July, Meiji Yasuda Life held a virtual meeting that required members to submit a power of attorney in advance. The major disadvantage of this approach is someone might want to alter their vote after hearing speeches and discussions at a meeting. But if the vote is already submitted in paper, that’s not possible.

Meiji Yasuda Life has adopted a blockchain solution developed by Japanese IT firm Asteria which uses an enterprise version of the Ethereum blockchain. At a December 2020 meeting, questions will be accepted in real-time. But once legal issues are resolved, the system will be considered for blockchain voting at the general meeting in July 2021. 

Blockchain proxy voting is quite a popular application. At least two other solutions are being trialed in Japan. One from BitFlyer launched six months ago, and another from Broadridge first trialed two years ago in conjunction with ICJ, a joint venture with the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Santander also piloted Broadridge’s solution. SWIFT has a blockchain solution being tested for e-Voting in partnership with the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

Blockchain solution for political voting is also being considered to mitigate problems and challenges faced by current voting systems. Russia piloted a national blockchain-based e-voting system in September this year. Rostelecom and Waves Enterprise are developing a blockchain-based e-voting system by the order of the Central Electoral Commission of Russia.
