Abstract
Electronic voting is essential in the digital world for voters, who will make their choice of vote through smartphones or computers. Ballot composition, ballot casting, ballot recording, and tabulation are the four steps in the election process. Electronic voting technology aims to speed up ballot counting, minimize the expense of hiring employees to tally ballots manually and increase accessibility for disabled voters. Results can be reported and published within a short period. The major challenge in electronic voting is to maintain data confidentiality, verify data integrity, and ensure authenticity in the overall process. In this paper, blockchain-enabled electronic voting has been proposed, addressing security challenges such as confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. The proposed work implementation results show the effectiveness of blockchain-based electronic voting scheme.
