Abstract

Today’s online voting systems pose security concerns and cannot be used for public elections, while offline voting costs significantly more. As a result, a decentralized electronic voting system is emerging, backed by blockchain technology. With blockchain technology applied to online voting, the system can guarantee transparency and confidentiality because individual voter information and aggregate information are stored in a distributed fashion. Due to its decentralized nature, a blockchain-based voting system is more secure than the existing central server-based online voting system. In this study, an Ethereum-based electronic voting system was developed. This system resolves the issue of fraudulent voting by enhancing the safety and reliability of the electronic voting system.

Highlights

  • Introduction and Early Adoption of anWhile information technology has brought about many changes to our daily lives, our democracy requires the adoption of electronic voting to progress further

  • Centralized electronic voting methods emerged as an alternative to paper voting, resolving the problem of the low voting rate, as voters are not restricted by time or physical location

  • A Solidity-based smart contract was implemented and deployed among voters to validate whether the credibility of vote counting can be maintained to develop the online voting system

Summary

Introduction

Introduction and Early Adoption of anWhile information technology has brought about many changes to our daily lives, our democracy requires the adoption of electronic voting to progress further. The system makes it difficult to tamper with and manipulate voting data and prevents invalid or illegal votes, guaranteeing voting integrity and ensuring high reliability [2]. This method eventually requires the disclosure of the voting information of all users because it matches users one-to-one with an account address and records the account address and transaction details as a transaction history in the block. This method cannot be applied to anonymous voting, as it violates the principle of confidentiality
