Empowering E-Voting with Blockchain for Enhanced Transparency and Security
摘要
The crucial processes for sound decision-making in boards of directors, government agencies, and the financial industry is voting. Numerous academics suggested electronic voting (E-Voting) system, in which votes are cast online or at highly trusted, secure polling places. In addition, Making the switch to electronic voting is becoming increasingly more important as the recent epidemic has brought attention to the necessity of distant voting. Blockchain is one method for creating such technology, which may be used to ensure the voting system’s anonymity, decentralization, privacy, and dependability. The blockchain-based electronic voting system proposed in this study is made up of the voter, intermediary servers, and blockchain network components in a distributed design. The primary function of the intermediary servers is to distribute the burden between the blockchain servers and the voters. A scheduling method is used by the system servers to divide up the workload. A novel approach is presented for storing the blocks in the databases of each server in addition to the distributed architecture. The way these blocks are transmitted to the other servers is also emphasized. When comparing the suggested distributed design with the centralized system, simulation results clearly demonstrate a difference in execution time. Additionally, the newly suggested blockchain algorithm performs better when it comes to recognizing any damaged blocks and carrying out the vote-counting operation.
