USE OF BLOCKCHAIN IN VOTING SYSTEM

Abstract

What is blockchain technology?since its invention in 2008. The first decentralized by Satoshi Nakamoto. He improved the overall design using a Hashcash like method. The design was implemented as a core component of the cryptocurrency bitcoin where its serves as the public ledger for all transaction on the entire network. It is a digital ledger technology that allows for secure and transparent record-keeping of transactions.In a blockchain, every participant has a copy of the ledger, and all transactions are verified and recorded in a decentralized and transparent manner. The security of the blockchain comes from the fact that once a block is added to the chain, it cannot be altered or deleted without the consensus of the network.Besides its original use case in digital currencies, blockchain technol- ogy has been applied to various industries, such as supply chain management, healthcare, real estate, and voting systems. Its po- tential benefits include increased security, transparency, effi- ciency, and decentralization. One of the key benefits of using blockchain technology in voting is the ability to create a trans- parent and decentralized system. This means that anyone can verify the accuracy of the results, and there is no need for a centralized authority to oversee the process. The blockchain acts as a distributed ledger, with each node on the network hold- ing a copy of the transaction history. Key Words: Blockchain, Voting
