Abstract— The shift towards digital voting systems has brought about both opportunities and challenges, particularly in terms of transparency, security, and scalability. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized and unchangeable characteristics, presents a promising solution to tackle the challenges faced in the realm of e-voting. This study suggests a blockchain-based electronic voting system that aims to improve the trustworthiness, safety, and inclusivity of electoral procedures. The system utilizes smart contracts to automate the process of vote validation, guaranteeing secure and tamper- proof records while minimizing the chances of fraudulent activities. Additionally, cryptographic techniques ensure the privacy and confidentiality of voters, while the transparent nature of blockchain promotes trust among stakeholders by allowing real-time verification of the electoral process. Performance metrics, including throughput, latency, and scalability, are analyzed to determine the viability of the proposed system for conducting elections on a large scale. This paper also compares different blockchain-based e-voting systems, identifies their shortcomings, and proposes future enhancements to encourage the widespread adoption of secure, efficient, and inclusive digital voting methods.
