Cryptographic Integrity and Scalability Challenges in Ethereum-Based E-Voting Systems: Current State of the Art

Abstract

One potential remedy for the problems with online voting methods is blockchain technology. Online voting has several benefits, such lower costs and higher voter turnout, but its broad adoption has been hampered by security and manipulation issues. With features like non-repudiation and end-to-end verification, blockchain&s;s decentralized and secure architecture provides an alternative to electronic voting. In addition to examining the present status of research and development in this area, this article gives an overview of blockchain-based electronic voting systems. The objective is to pinpoint current issues and predict upcoming developments in blockchain-based voting. Paper clarifies the core features of blockchain technology that are pertinent to voting and highlights the conceptual framework of blockchain-based electronic voting systems. According to the report, blockchain technologies might help with some of the problems that conventional election systems have. Transaction speed and privacy protection, however, are two significant obstacles that stand out. Blockchain-based electronic voting systems must be implemented sustainably, which requires resolving scalability issues with transaction speed and guaranteeing the security of distant participation. Current frameworks must be improved in order to properly utilize blockchain technology in voting systems. This entails strengthening privacy safeguards and figuring out ways to speed up transactions. Blockchain-based electronic voting systems have the potential to be a safe and effective alternative for next elections if these issues are resolved.
