Blockchain-enhanced electoral integrity: a robust model for secure digital voting systems in Oman
This research offers insights for policymakers to consider Blockchain for electoral reforms, addressing issues like data integrity, fraud prevention, and transparency to boost voter trust. A strong regulatory framework and public awareness are crucial for successful implementation. Pilot projects are needed to assess Blockchain's practical impact. Oman could lead global innovation in electoral technology, though infrastructure and public resistance challenges must be managed.
