Blockchain-Based Framework for Secure and Transparent E-Voting Using Ethereum: An Alternative to Traditional EVMs

Abstract

The solution offered by Blockchain technology fixes electronic voting problems by tackling the vulnerabilities of Votes, eliminating transparency problems, and improving EVM machine scalability issues. This study creates a dual voting system that unites Ethereum smart contracts for both protected candidate enrollment and voting confirmation along with authentication functions and election results counting. This framework incorporates an oversight feature for election officials who can monitor votes live so they can verify operations while improving both security and transparency. The Ganache implementation of the prototype required $\mathbf{3 8 7, 9 5 7}$ gas units for each vote to maintain decentralization as well as optimize resource usage. This frame- work links blockchain innovation to offline voting procedures to create an operable solution that substitutes standard voting technologies. Future developments will include work on both scalability improvements and user accessibility enhancements together with the integration of zero-knowledge-proof technology to guarantee voter privacy at the operational level of this framework.
