Advancing Electoral Processes: A Novel E-Voting Model Integrating Iris Scans, Raspberry Pi, and Blockchain Technology

Abstract

The amalgamation of an e-voting system with blockchain technology represents a significant advancement in the electoral process, streamlining voting procedures. However, concerns persist regarding the security and auditability of the system. While blockchain provides robust security and transparency to safeguard the integrity of votes, it faces potential resistance from tech-agnostic users. In response to these challenges, a novel e-voting model is proposed, leveraging iris scans through Raspberry Pi technology, offering a promising avenue for enhanced security and user acceptance. Moreover, this biometric approach introduces a seamless and user-friendly authentication process, potentially mitigating the resistance faced by tech-agnostic voters in adopting advanced e-voting technologies. The integration of iris scans through Raspberry Pi into the e-voting system, coupled with blockchain technology, presents a comprehensive and forward-thinking solution to the challenges posed by security, auditability, and user acceptance. This multifaceted approach not only addresses existing concerns but also sets the stage for a more inclusive and secure electoral process in the digital age.
