Abstract

All measures toward safeguarding the sanctity and transparency of the elections are essential for strengthening democracy. This study presents a scalable and verifiable blockchain e-voting framework that overcomes existing e-voting systems' issues including high computation overhead, lack of usability, low level of transparency, and low legal compliance. In contrast to prior art, the present model leverages light-weight cryptographic algorithms, decentralized identity checks and open-source model to provide a secure, privacy preserving and user-friendly voting. The system provides real-time auditability, end-to-end verifiability, and resistance to coercion and vote manipulating attacks with efficiency and adaptability to multiple deployment scenarios. Through extensive simulations and prototyping on blockchain testnet, the designed system achieves high throughput, low latency and is abiding by regulatory constraints, thus laying a solid foundation for the trusted and transparent democratic process in the digital era.
