Using Blockchain Data Security Management for E-Voting Systems

Abstract

In this era of disruption, voting methods in elections have been carried out using the system. But in the process, there are still some obstacles, such as the calculation of election results can still be manipulated. In the 2019 election between candidates A and B, according to the fast-counting technology, media candidate A gets the highest votes, but in electronic media states candidate, B gets the highest votes. This raises the possibility of manipulation of the vote. This study addresses the issues involved in delivering valid results and also authenticates the validity of voting data. The method in developing this research uses blockchain technology that can verify data from voting with a decentralized system. Decentralization on the blockchain allows each server to connect and have the same role and form a peer-to-peer network. Data tracking is easier, and when one server is in trouble, backups are easily performed by other servers, and the problematic server is temporarily removed from the blockchain network. The application of blockchain technology in electronic voting can produce data that cannot be manipulated and will be maintained authenticity.
