Abstract : Any democracy must have an open voting process that satisfies the needs of the populace to give the appropriate individual the power. Additionally, the traditional voting systems currently in use have significant flaws and lack security and transparency. It has long been difficult to create a safe electronic voting system that provides the transparency and flexibility provided by electronic systems, while maintaining the fairness and privacy of present voting schemes. In this project, we assess a blockchain-based implementation of distributed electronic voting systems. It addresses some of the well-known blockchain frameworks with the aim of building a blockchain-based electronic voting system and presents a novel electronic voting system based on blockchain that tackles some of the shortcomings in existing systems. In particular, we evaluate the potential of distributed ledger technologies through the description of a case study; namely, the process of an election, and the implementation of a blockchain-based application, which improves the security and decreases the cost of hosting a nationwide election.
