E-voting using blockchain Comparative Analysis

Abstract: Electronic voting (e-voting) is a digital method of casting and counting votes in an election. Blockchain, a decentralized digital ledger technology, has been suggested as a potential solution to the challenges of e-voting, such as security, transparency, and trust. This comparative analysis examines the use of blockchain technology in e-voting systems, comparing it with traditional e-voting systems and highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. First, we discuss the basic concepts of blockchain technology and e-voting; we analysed the advantages and disadvantages of blockchain-based e-voting compared to traditional e-voting. We also examine the challenges of implementing blockchain-based e-voting, including scalability, interoperability, and regulatory compliance. Finally, we consider the potential for blockchain-based e-voting to enhance the democratic process by increasing voter turnout, reducing fraud, and improving the integrity of elections.
