Abstract

Abstract: Voting is an essential component of any democratic society but traditional systems often face obstacles like inefficiency, human error, and transparency issues thus hindering credibility. This inspired our aim to create a proof-of-concept for an e-voting system that leverages blockchain technology coupled with homomorphic encryption as means to address these impediments. In doing so, the proposed system intends to restore trust in electoral processes by improving their transparency, integrity, and efficiency. Blockchain technology provides a verifiable account and a convenient database, culminating in the smooth conduct of elections for the general public, and fostering confidence in the precision of the outcomes obtained. Homomorphic encryption secures votes utilizing encrypted data computations allaying public concerns on voter anonymity. It also affords utmost privacy security of individual votes inevitably cutting costs since elections no longer require physical ballots or polling booths.
