Blockchain Voting: A Step Towards Inclusive Democracy

Abstract

Abstract: The online voting system that incorporates blockchain technology aims to transform the voting process by introducing upgraded trust, transparency and security. Through the utilization of a decentralized blockchain network, the proposed system ensures that each vote is securely recorded and verified, thereby establishing an immutable and tamper-resistant voting mechanism. One of the fundamental feature of the system is eligible voter verification. By leveraging blockchain's distributed nature, the system can verify the identity and eligibility of each voter, ensure that eligible individuals can only participate in the voting system. This authentication process adds an additional layer of security and helps prevent fraudulent activities. Secure vote casting is another crucial component of the proposed voting system. Through the utilization of blockchain, each and every vote is encrypted and securely stored in a decentralized manner. This ensures that votes cannot be altered or manipulated, providing a high level of integrity to the voting process. Additionally, the system emphasizes transparent result tallying. The decentralized nature of blockchain technology allows for the public verification of votes, enabling anyone to audit the voting process. This transparency enhances trust among voters, as it provides them with the ability to independently verify the accuracy of the election results. Overall, the proposed online voting system, empowered by blockchain technology, offers a transparent, secure and tamper-resistant solution for conducting elections. By leveraging the benefits of blockchain, such as decentralization and immutability, the system addresses the challenges faced by traditional voting systems and provides a more reliable and trustworthy platform for the democratic process. It has the potential to enhance the integrity of elections, increase voter turnout, and foster trust in the electoral system.
