E-government services today are often centralized and rely heavily on human oversight. This centralization makes them vulnerable to external attacks and insider data breaches, while human involvement increases the risk of errors and corruption. To address these challenges, this study proposes a decentralized and automated online voting system using Blockchain technology. Unlike traditional voting systems, this approach eliminates intermediaries, making it both more efficient and cost-effective. The research focuses on leveraging Ethereum Blockchain and smart contracts to create a secure and transparent voting process. Simulated voting datasets are used to replicate real-world scenarios, allowing the system to be tested for security, scalability, and user experience. Additionally, the study highlights future enhancements, such as integrating biometric authentication, to further improve accessibility and security. This research offers valuable insights for those involved in the development, implementation, and regulation of blockchain-based voting systems, including policymakers, researchers, and practitioners.

摘要

E-government services today are often centralized and rely heavily on human oversight. This centralization makes them vulnerable to external attacks and insider data breaches, while human involvement increases the risk of errors and corruption. To address these challenges, this study proposes a decentralized and automated online voting system using Blockchain technology. Unlike traditional voting systems, this approach eliminates intermediaries, making it both more efficient and cost-effective. The research focuses on leveraging Ethereum Blockchain and smart contracts to create a secure and transparent voting process. Simulated voting datasets are used to replicate real-world scenarios, allowing the system to be tested for security, scalability, and user experience. Additionally, the study highlights future enhancements, such as integrating biometric authentication, to further improve accessibility and security. This research offers valuable insights for those involved in the development, implementation, and regulation of blockchain-based voting systems, including policymakers, researchers, and practitioners.
