BLOCKCHAIN-BASED VOTING SYSTEM FOR SECURE ELECTIONS

Abstract

The present invention relates to a blockchain-based voting system designed to ensure secure, transparent, and tamper-proof elections. By leveraging blockchain technology, the system enables the secure recording of votes on a decentralized ledger, preventing fraud and manipulation. It incorporates advanced cryptographic techniques for voter authentication and vote encryption, ensuring voter privacy and vote integrity. The system employs smart contracts to automatically tally votes and generate election results in real-time, providing transparency and auditability. This blockchain-based solution offers a scalable, efficient, and highly secure method for conducting both local and national elections, addressing the challenges of traditional voting systems.

Specification

Description:The embodiments of the present invention generally relates to systems and methods for secure electronic voting in elections. More particularly, it concerns the use of blockchain technology to ensure the integrity, security, transparency, and privacy of voting processes in both public and private elections. The invention aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of electronic voting while preventing common issues like vote tampering, fraud, and unauthorized access.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art.

The integrity of elections is fundamental to the functioning of democratic systems, and , Claims:1. A blockchain-based voting system for secure elections, comprising:
a voting interface for securely casting votes by eligible voters;
a blockchain ledger for recording the votes, wherein each vote is stored as a transaction on the blockchain;
a verification mechanism for authenticating the identity of voters, wherein the identity is verified through biometric or cryptographic techniques;
a smart contract module for automatically tallying the votes and determining the election results;
anonymization means for ensuring voter privacy, wherein the voter's identity is not disclosed in the blockchain ledger;
wherein the blockchain ledger is decentralized and immutable, providing an auditable, transparent, and tamper-resistant record of votes.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the voting interface includes a multi-factor authentication module to verify the identity of voters prior to casting a vote.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein each vote is encrypted using public key cryptography before being recorded on th
