A Blockchain and Face Recognition Based E-Voting System

Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes a project-specific electronic voting (e-voting) system that integrates blockchain technology with face recognition for robust voter authentication. The goal is to design a decentralized platform in which every vote is recorded immutably on an Ethereum-based blockchain, while face recognition ensures that only a uniquely verified individual can cast a ballot. We detail the system architecture, methodology, and implementation steps, and we compare our approach to other blockchain-based e-voting systems worldwide, including Voatz, Follow My Vote, Zug e-Voting, and Moscow Blockchain Voting. Finally, we reference the open-source repository on which our project is based, demonstrating its real-world applicability and transparency.
