Research on Blockchain-based Techniques for Increasing the Security of Electronic Voting Systems

Authors: Dr. Chiranjib Nath, Snehanshu Singh

Abstract: In a democratic society like India (the world's largest democracy), voting is important for both selecting government people and expressing our views on how the governing body should be established. Blockchain platforms are now accessible, and several organizations have begun to use them in their operations. It can be utilized not only for commerce but also as a service, and it has the ability to make voting more accessible. Online voting is a viable alternative to both the traditional paper ballot system and the widely used electronic voting equipment (EVM). An electronic voting portal should provide security and integrity, as well as vote transparency and voter privacy. As a result, NRIs and adult internet users can vote in a couple of seconds, regardless of where they are on election  day. This will be simple and secure. There is a substantial chance of fake votes and property harm with the existing system. People do not want to stand in long lines or wait for long periods of time. Also, those in charge of the election must follow an entirely different voting system, which takes longer and lacks transparency. The study also discusses the current state of certain blockchain frameworks for electronic voting. This paper provides a review of the papers and strategies that have been used to address voting issues.
