Abstract

The credibility of democratic activities depends on secure, verifiable and credible voting systems. Classical electronic voting systems face challenges of fraud, lack of openness, and centralized control, which reduces the public confidence about them. This paper introduces a secure and trustworthy e-voting scheme based on blockchain technology to deal with privacy and security concerns of existing e-voting systems. Implemented using the decentralized ledger technology, the proposed system supports immutability of the recorded votes participatory, verifiable transactions and real time auditability, by preserving the privacy of the voter. The architecture is intended to be scalable, inclusive for different voting processes, and customizable to diverse electoral moves, and relies in smart contract automation, cryptographic vote validation, and a modular integration with national ID systems through privacy-preserving mechanisms. Experimental results show the efficiency of our voting system in preserving data integrity, preventing double voting, and withstanding malicious abuses. This study offers a practical and scalable solution to the age-old issues of digital voting, thereby reinforcing the credibility of the electoral process and instilling the trust of the public in democratic institutions.
