Enhancing Democracy Through Blockchain-Enabled Electronic Voting Systems
Abstract
In contemporary democracies, e-voting marks a shift from traditional paper methods, reducing costs and errors but introducing challenges like transparency and data storage issues. This chapter proposes blockchain technology to enhance the transparency and security of electronic voting. The study explores global advancements in electronic voting and assesses blockchain-based electoral mechanisms, comparing various blockchain technologies for their capacity to uphold democratic integrity. It highlights the vulnerabilities of traditional systems to errors and manipulation and advocates for a gradual transition to digital platforms. Blockchain, particularly Ethereum 2.0 and smart contracts offers robust internal verification, ensuring anonymity, privacy, and fairness while reducing operational costs. This chapter envisions a future where democracy is preserved and strengthened through secure, distributed voting mechanisms, presenting blockchain as an indispensable partner in enhancing democratic processes.
