Blockchain-Enabled E-Voting on Reinventing Electoral Processes for University Elections

Abstract

Elections in university settings frequently have difficulties with transparency, security, and accessibility. Traditional voting systems are prone to various issues, such as manipulation and logistical complexities. Over the past few years, blockchain technology has arisen as a hopeful remedy to tackle these obstacles, offering a transparent, secure, and decentralized avenue for conducting electronic voting (e-voting). This project presents a conceptual architecture for implementing a blockchain-based e-voting system tailored specifically for university-level elections. The suggested framework utilizes the intrinsic characteristics of blockchain to ensure the honesty and equity of the voting procedure. Key components of the architecture include a distributed ledger for recording votes, smart contracts for enforcing voting rules and conducting tallying, and a user-friendly interface for voters to cast their ballots securely.
