E-voting system using blockchain technology

The growing pandemic has sadly put a halt to important social activities such as voting. Unfortunately, strict guidelines have been devised and activities which include mass gatherings have become frowned upon. This pandemic has given many opportunities to industries to provide solutions to unavailable activities or services. Research has shown data on the demand for electronic voting in this time of need. Data particularly points towards the inefficiency of the traditional ways of voting, and the question is often asked about electronic voting solutions.

Research gathering techniques such as questionnaires were sent to individuals of different backgrounds for the aim of gathering information about the common folk’s knowledge about electronic voting. Contrary to what has been collected, the findings show that individuals in particular were worried about security aspects of such systems, in the sense of tampering with votes. Such implications have been solved using a proposed blockchain software solution to electronic voting. This paper contains evidence and demonstration of such technological blocks building toward the solution, although the field of blockchain application development is still undergoing its evolution.
