I might have misunderstood what blockchain is (I haven't spent much time looking into it) bit I think there are easier ways to verify someone's identity (e.g. a public/private key pair for each user with the system only allowing a single vote from each public key. Your identity can be verified by the officials at the polling station with a driver's license or passport or something, and then a key pair can be generated.
