Towards the Blockchain Technology for System Voting Process

Abstract

There are many existing voting solutions which have different benefits and issues. The most significant ones are lack of transparency and auditability. Recently developed blockchain technology may be a solution to these issues. This paper describes Auditable Blockchain Voting System (ABVS), which integrates e-voting process with blockchain technology into one supervised non-remote internet voting system which is end-to-end verifiable. In addition to the description of components and overall voting process, the paper contains presentation of the results of the initial tests conducted on the prototype of the system.
