SECURING THE VOTE: LEVERAGING ANOMALY DETECTION IN BLOCKCHAIN SYSTEMS

E-voting with blockchain technology presents a promising solution to enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of traditional voting systems. This paper explores the key components and functionalities of blockchain-based e-voting, emphasizing benefits such as decentralized consensus, immutability, and auditability. The process involves voter authentication, encrypted vote submission, blockchain consensus, and transparent record-keeping. However, challenges such as scalability, privacy concerns, and regulatory frameworks must be addressed for widespread adoption. Blockchain-based e-voting has emerged as an innovative approach to transforming electoral systems worldwide. This paper examines its fundamental principles and mechanics, highlighting its potential to resolve long-standing issues like fraud, coercion, and inefficiency in traditional voting methods. Through decentralized architecture and cryptographic techniques, blockchain ensures the integrity, transparency, and security of the voting process. The key stages include voter authentication, encrypted ballot submission, blockchain consensus, and immutable record-keeping. Despite its significant advantages, challenges remain, including scalability, privacy preservation, and regulatory compliance. By overcoming these obstacles, blockchain-based e-voting has the potential to redefine democracy, fostering trust, inclusivity, and integrity in electoral processes worldwide.
