    Redacción
    <p><a href="http://business.nasdaq.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nasdaq</a> (Nasdaq:NDAQ) and the <a href="https://valitsus.ee/en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Republic of Estonia</a> have announced that Estonia's e-Residency platform will be facilitating a blockchain-based e-voting service to allow shareholders of companies listed on Nasdaq's Tallinn Stock Exchange, Estonia's only regulated securities market, to vote in shareholder meetings. The country's e-Residency platform is an electronic identity system used by both Estonian residents and those with business interests in the country to access government services through e-Residency digital authentication. The program marks the second official blockchain project Nasdaq is executing on after <a href="http://ir.nasdaq.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=948326" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">successfully delivering</a> the first private securities issuance between an investor and company via Nasdaq Linq, its blockchain-enabled platform.</p>
    <p>As part of the program's pilot, shareholders who are Estonian or Estonian e-residents will be able to participate in the corporate governance of companies more conveniently and securely than ever before. The e-Residency platform vastly improves the ability to authenticate shareholders for the e-voting service, while blockchain technology will allow votes to be quickly and securely recorded, streamlining a proxy voting process that has historically been labor-intensive and fragmented. The pilot is aimed to launch in 2016.</p>

<p>"I'm delighted Nasdaq will be using the e-Residency platform to offer shareholders a new e-voting system," said Kaspar Korjus, Program Director, e-Residency. "When we started the e-Residency project a year ago we knew we would change the way people think about nations and citizenship. Now, via our e-voting collaboration with Nasdaq, we will be revolutionizing corporate governance."</p>

<p>Making it easier and safer for shareholders to participate in company meetings and votes is not just a matter of convenience or security; these interactions are the primary ways that a company's shareholders interact with corporate management and shape the future of the company they own. By making e-voting more efficient and secure, the blockchain-based system has the potential to empower shareholders and improve their engagement.</p>

<p>"On the heels of the successful execution of a Blockchain transaction in the US private market, we are pleased to further advance this technology in Estonia," said Hans-Ole Jochumsen, President, Nasdaq. "Estonia's robust information society and forward thinking coupled with the agility its size affords, creates a unique opportunity to premiere the e-voting pilot in Estonia. We're excited to see the development of this project over the coming months, and look forward to working closely with the government of Estonia to set a transformative example of the future of governance."</p>
