Abstract
Transparency and security in an electoral process are fundamental to the legitimacy of the results and the confidence of voters. Thus, it is necessary to assess opportunities to improve traditional voting systems. Among the main problems is the lack of transparency, due to the impossibility of a voter checking their vote and the lack of access to the source from which the results are obtained. Another problem is mobility, due to the impossibility of performing remote voting, as traditional voting systems continue to require the physical presence of the voter in an electoral zone. Thus, the objective of this work is to propose a voting system that is functional, transparent, safe, and accessible to everyone. Voters can vote through a mobile application with biometric authentication using fingerprint and password access. In our proposal, votes are registered in an Ethereum Blockchain through a Smart Contract, allowing the voter to check their vote. The results are expected to collaborate with the evolution of studies necessary to improve traditional voting systems, especially in fundamental aspects such as security, transparency, and mobility.
Highlights
Avoting system allows the individual to choose a choice from a group of existing options and enables a population to decide in a democratic way who its representatives will be
It presents a proposal for a functional voting system based on Blockchain technology, accessible through an application for cell phones, with user authentication through biometrics and an access password
It was possible to integrate an application for mobile phones with biometric and nonbiometric authentication of an Ethereum Blockchain, where there is a Smart Contract used for votes in execution
Summary
Avoting system allows the individual to choose a choice from a group of existing options and enables a population to decide in a democratic way who its representatives will be. The basic requirements of a voting system presented in this work do not take into account the rules described in electoral codes used in public elections for political office. The scope of this proposal serves voting systems governed by local rules, such as elections for associations, condominiums, or clubs.
