Abstract

Developing an electronic voting system that meets the practical needs of administrators has been a difficult task for a long time. Now, blockchain technologies solve this problem by providing a distributed ledger with immutable, encrypted, and secure transactions. Distributed ledger technologies are an interesting technological leap in the field of data innovation, transparency, and trustability. In public blockchain, distributed ledger technology is widely used. The blockchain technology can be used in an almost infinite number of ways to benefit from sharing economies. The purpose of this study is to assess how blockchain may be utilized to build electronic voting systems that can be used as a service. The purpose of electronic voting systems is explained in this article, as are the technological and legal limitations of employing blockchain as a service. Then, using blockchain as a foundation, we propose a new electronic voting system that fixes the flaws we observed. In general, this paper evaluates the capabilities of distributed ledger technologies by depicting a contextual investigation in order to fine-tune the process of political election decisions and employing a blockchain-based application that improves security and lowers the cost of conducting nationwide elections.

Highlights

  • Electronic voting systems have been a hot topic of research, with the major goal of maintaining data and minimizing election costs by ensuring security conditions and compliance requirements for election integrity. e security and transparency of an election in a democracy entail fair political judgments

  • Erstwhile researcher contributes for eliminating malleability transaction to control and decrease the blocks and transactions tempering in Bitcoins

  • We have compiled a list of the basic assumptions that an electronic voting system must meet in order to be used effectively in national elections: (a) e election system should not allow for compulsory voting (b) e election system should not be able to track the credentials of voters (c) e election system should ensure and demonstrate to voters that their votes were counted and correctly counted (d) e electoral system should not allow for vote-rigging by third parties (e) No one should be able to control vote counting and determine election results in the election system (f ) According to the voting system, only eligible people should be allowed to vote in elections
