Blockchain technology, when used as designed, serves a transformative purpose in modernizing electoral systems with better transparency, security and voter confidence. Blockchain Isn’t a Voting Panacea Despite issues related to scaling, privacy, existing infrastructures, and so on, there is an immense opportunity for us to have a new way of voting that solves the security, transparency, and efficiency (again: voting should be cheap) issues existing systems have today. By using privacy-preserving solutions, decentralized protocols and smart contracts we can ensure transparency in vote counting and tamper-proof election results, thus ultimately mitigating the opportunity for voter fraud. In addition, the decentralized nature of blockchain enables not only secure voting for monumental elections, but in even resource-scarce environments, making it an ultimate solution to international democratic participation. We will talk about the most severe issues that Blockchain voting systems have to face and how they can be fixed, leading us to a future of electronic voting that is safe, secure, and everyone can access.
Key words: Blockchain / electronic voting / transparency / security / voter fraud prevention / privacy-preserving technologies / decentralized voting systems / smart contracts
