Abstract
With the increasing demand for secure, trustworthy, and transparent voting systems, electronic voting (e-voting) has emerged as a promising solution to address the shortcomings of traditional methods. However, traditional e-voting systems face numerous challenges in ensuring integrity, privacy, and auditability such as paper-based ballots and electronic voting machines. These traditional systems are susceptible to issues such as voter fraud, coercion, and a lack of transparency, undermining the democratic process. This paper proposes a novel approach to designing an e-voting framework using block chain technology. By leveraging the distributed ledger and consensus mechanisms of block chain, our framework aims to provide a secure, transparent, and tamper resistant voting system. These features enable the creation of a secure and transparent voting system that ensures the integrity of votes, protects voter privacy, and enables verifiability and auditability of the entire voting process. The paper presents the key components, design considerations, and benefits of the proposed framework, along with an analysis of its potential challenges and future directions for research and development. The system architecture of the proposed framework establishes communication channels, data flows, and interfaces that facilitate voters' attendance, secure interactions and information exchange within the voting system. The use of smart contracts helps enforce the rules and conditions of the voting process on the block chain, ensuring the accuracy and fairness of the electoral outcome. In conclusion, the proposed e-voting framework using blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the electoral process by providing a secure, transparent, and tamper-resistant voting system. By addressing the challenges of e-voting systems and leveraging the inherent features of block chain, technology, we can enhance the integrity, privacy, and trustworthiness of the voting process.
