Establishing Trust in Online Voting: Blockchain Solutions for Secure Elections with Immutability and Efficiency
Today, various emerging applications widely use blockchain technology (BT) as a backbone platform to ensure security, privacy, and efficacy. Blockchain is a dispersed, inalterable, unambiguous, defended, and open cryptographic secure ledger technology. A wide number of blockchain applications in several sectors can be built using some of the technology's most important features, such as security, speed, immutability, persistency, anonymity, and decentralized distributed ledgers. Blockchain technology (BT) offers huge potential for storing, accessing, and preserving documents. One of the most well-known blockchain applications is the online voting system. Most of the e-voting systems rely on centralized servers, and voters need to trust the election authorities for the precision of polling results. This article proposes an enhanced blockchain-enabled decentralized voting system. The proposed blockchain-based voting system will be secure and enhance public trust. Data safety and transparency are key features of the system. The system guarantees a single vote for each unique identity in each poll, while also guaranteeing obscurity. To affirm transparency, integrity, and stability, the recommended model has used EVM to write smart contracts for each voting event. It allows users to vote inconceivably from any location and at any time by using digital devices.
