E-Voting on Blockchain using Solidity Language

Abstract

Electronically voting process without paper and the ballot box, namely electronic voting (e-voting), required some improvement, especially in terms of security elements. This is against the anonymize properties of the e-voting system. Therefore, a blockchain e-voting system was proposed which have a secure and transparency features to deploy during the Student Representative Council (SRC) election in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). Blockchain technology ensured all aspects such as transparency, security, and auditability were achieved without sacrificing the privacy of voters. In this study, e-voting using a blockchain system was developed to detect the fraud that occurs during the voting session using Solidity language. A total of 3 cases were analyzed and a questionnaire was done to evaluate the proposed system. Analysis of respondents gave positive perception with a mean value of 4.5, 4.6, and 4.9, for 1st, 2nd,and 3rdCase respectively. To sum up, the proposed system can shorter the time for the voting process and diminishes the expense because of no need to print out the ballot.
