BLOCKCHAIN-BASED E-VOTING SYSTEM

Computer Science Engineering

Online voting is gaining traction in modern society due to its potential to reduce organizational costs and increase voter turnout. By allowing voters to cast their ballots from any location with an Internet connection, the need for physical ballot papers and polling stations is eliminated. However, concerns about vulnerabilities in online voting systems, which could lead to large-scale manipulations, have tempered enthusiasm. Blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution to address these concerns by offering decentralized nodes for electronic voting. Blockchain provides end-to-end verification, making electronic voting systems more legitimate, accurate, safe, and convenient. This article provides an overview of blockchain-based electronic voting systems, highlighting their potential to overcome existing challenges in traditional electronic voting solutions. The study emphasizes the need for blockchain systems to address privacy protection and transaction speed issues. While blockchain can mitigate problems in election systems, ensuring the security of remote participation and addressing transaction speed for scalability remain crucial. The conclusion suggests that existing frameworks must be enhanced to make them more suitable for use in voting systems, emphasizing the importance of ongoing improvements to achieve a sustainable blockchain-based electronic voting system.
