Abstract
Today, each individual voter expects that his vote is counted correctly, and that the election results are not rigged. Every voting process affects voter’s trust in the system. In other words, it is very important that the government is able to successfully hold non-fraudulent, transparent, trustworthy and most importantly, secure elections to affirm the faith of public. In this paper, we propose a system that makes use of blockchain to make the elections secure, maintain anonymity of voter and is decentralized. We propose a new e-voting protocol which adheres to the fundamental e-voting properties and in addition offers to make the process decentralized.
