Abstract

Voting is a cornerstone of democratic societies. However, traditional paper-based and electronic voting systems continue to encounter significant challenges, including tampering, lack of transparency, human error, and centralized control. Blockchain technology presents a secure alternative by leveraging decentralization, immutability, and distributed consensus. Ethereum further enhances these capabilities through smart contracts, which automate and enforce voting rules. This research introduces a decentralized voting system built on the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing smart contracts, cryptographic hashing, voter authentication, and a UTXO-based Vote Coin mechanism to guarantee one-voter-one-vote security and comprehensive verifiability. The system design is informed by the Voting Management System (VMS) framework proposed by Farooq et al. (2022), which incorporates layered security, chain validation, and resistance to common voting-related attacks.
