Blockchain-based e-voting systems: Enhancing security, transparency and trust

Abstract

Electronic voting (e-voting) systems have garnered significant interest due to their potential to streamline the voting process, increase accessibility, and improve overall efficiency in electoral processes. However, traditional e-voting systems often face challenges related to security, transparency, and trustworthiness. In response to these challenges, blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution, offering inherent features such as immutability, transparency, and decentralization. This paper explores the implementation of a blockchain-based e-voting system, discussing its architecture, functionalities, and the potential benefits it offers in enhancing trust, security, and transparency in electoral processes.
