Blockchain-Based Autonomous Voting System Ethereum

Abstract

Abstract: The default voting procedure has many inefficiencies such as issues with effectiveness, security, and transparency. These problems erode the confidence and credibility in the electoral frameworks which fosters conflict and skepticism towards the legitimacy of governance. A solution for voting problems is Secure Sphere, a decentralized ballot system that employs the Ethereum blockchain. Through block technology, Secure Sphere guarantees that its voting process is utterly transparent, secure, and un hackable. Votes are protected against unauthorized additions by casting them on the Ethereum blockchain. This approach mitigates most problems associated with traditional voting systems such as vote tampering and recounting, misrepresentation, and cyber threats. Moreover, the voting process is further secured by the application of cryptographic techniques. The principal feature of Secure Sphere is smart contracts which are vital in automating the voting process. Each vote is verifiable and counted, therefore, once cast, a vote becomes irrevocable. Because of these contracts the system is enhanced to enable real time vote verification, thus rendering the votes straightforwardly auditable. Therefore, both voters and election officials are able to independently confirm the outcomes.
