E-voting and E-recapitulation System Using Smart Cards and Smart Contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain

In traditional voting systems, challenges arise in verifying voter data and preventing data manipulation before it reaches the central database. This study introduces a comprehensive solution, combining blockchain technology, smart contracts, and smart card integration, to address these issues. By leveraging smart contracts and blockchain, we establish a secure and efficient method for validating the personal data of voting participants. Smart card technology streamlines the registration process, while blockchain serves as a decentralized, customizable database through smart contracts. This approach reduces the risk of counterfeit identity cards and ensures real-time data transmission, mitigating bottlenecks and enhancing audit trails. The adaptable E-voting and E-recapitulation system can be seamlessly implemented across various levels of government elections, from local to national, accommodating diverse geographic scales and data requirements.
