Blockchain Technology Application for Electronic Voting Systems

Abstract

Low voter turnout, limited access to polling locations, and mistrust of the voting process persist as ongoing
challenges within the voting system. Addressing these issues, this paper introduces a pioneering solution: a
blockchain-based remote electronic voting system. This system aims to empower users in creating their voting
procedures, ensuring transparency throughout the voting process, and guaranteeing fault tolerance even in the
event of hardware failures. Leveraging blockchain technology, renowned for its security and immutability,
the proposed system establishes a decentralized and transparent voting process. Users can securely register
their identities, cast anonymous votes, and modify their votes while the voting session remains open. Realtime access to voting results and a robust smart contract system further enhance the system's transparency and
reliability. By eliminating the necessity for physical polling locations and enabling mobile voting, this system
has the potential to bolster civic engagement and increase participation in the electoral process. While the
implementation of blockchain-based electronic voting systems continues to evolve, this paper delineates the
potential benefits and challenges associated with such systems, providing a promising path for the future of
secure and transparent elections.
