Isn't Blockchain the core of Agora Voting?

No, it's not (btw I work at Agora Voting, now called nVotes), although we were the first to suggest it, in the end the blockchain was never introduced to Agora Voting.

The blockchain has some interesting properties that can be used, for sure, but in reality these properties would be used only in one module of the voting system, not at the core.

Interesting. Could you share with us what are the biggest share-able projects Agora Voting is getting involved?

At Agora Voting/nVotes (https://nvotes.com/) we have done multiple kinds of elections.

* We recently held an electoral process on a number of questions with the townhall of Madrid with over 200k votes [0]

* We run the national primaries of Podemos (Spanish political party), with over 155k voters [1]

* We also did the election for the Board of Directos of the Spanish Surgeons Society [2]
