ABSTRACT

The integrity and transparency of electoral systems are critical to maintaining public trust in democratic processes. However, traditional voting systems face challenges such as voter fraud, lack of transparency, and delays in result verification. This paper explores the design and implementation of an electoral voting system leveraging blockchain technology to address these challenges. Blockchain offers a decentralized and tamper-resistant ledger that ensures the security, anonymity, and transparency of votes. The proposed system integrates cryptographic algorithms for voter authentication, smart contracts for vote recording, and consensus mechanisms for result validation. A comparative analysis highlights the advantages of the blockchain-based system over traditional and electronic voting systems in terms of security, efficiency, and scalability. The paper also discusses potential limitations, including scalability concerns, voter accessibility, and regulatory considerations, proposing solutions for real-world adoption. This research demonstrates that blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize electoral processes, paving the way for more secure and transparent elections.
