BE-Voting: A Secure Blockchain Enabled Voting System

Blockchain is a distributed ledger shared among the participants ensuring transparent and secured transactions over the network. Existing voting systems for selecting eligible candidates may be unable to maintain transparency, privacy, and security. A blockchain-based voting system can resolve these issues through decentralized nodes and end-to-end verification advantages. Thus, integrating blockchain into the traditional voting system may provide a more reliable and secure electronic voting procedure. This research aims to propose an alternative solution to the conventional voting system named ‘BE-Voting’ using blockchain technology in the context of Bangladesh that will preserve the integrity of the votes with distributed, non-repudiation, and security protection characteristics. A prototype of the proposed system was developed and evaluated regarding data analysis and comparison with existing systems.
