The Use of Blockchain Technology for Managing a Voting Process
摘要
In recent years, we've witnessed remarkable advancements in technology, yet the world of blockchain remains enigmatic. At its core, a blockchain is an open, distributed ledger—a series of interconnected blocks containing information. One of its most intriguing features is that once data is recorded within a blockchain, altering it becomes incredibly challenging. Inspired by this concept, the authors developed a voting application that allows administrators to create voting sessions for a limited period. By employing it, we can reduce the costs associated with organizing a voting session, observe responses in real time, and eliminate human errors in vote counting. Furthermore, it enables voting to occur anytime and anywhere if an internet connection is available. By harnessing the power of blockchain, we can transform the voting process into a more secure, transparent, unalterable, and reliable experience.
