Blockchain-Enhanced Digital Voting System to secure Elections
Abstract
Even though in 1970s,there are many form of voting system in the present day it is a more error-free and efficient system than paper-based ones. There are still barriers that need to be removed before the majority of stakeholders would approve the widespread use of such systems. If improved, the majority of these obstacles pertain to areas that would increase the systems' resilience to errors. This article talks about today's disruptive technologies and how blockchain technology will finally improve the efficacy and reliability of electronic voting procedures. One of the structural adjustments that this effort aims to implement is the facilitation of electronic voting through the use of non-repudiantion, one of the fundamental characteristics of block chain technology. The architecture that is being proposed is capable of end-to-end verification and does not contain any components that are borrowed from electronic voting methods that are currently in use. The methodology makes it possible for the e-voting and e-voting critique to be submitted rapidly. This paper includes a full evaluation of the suggested electronic voting system as well as details about its implementation. The next sections of the paper provide and evaluate the findings of the clinical trials, strong evidence for e-voting, verification

Relevance and Originality
The research article addresses a critical issue in modern electoral processes, highlighting the need for error-free and efficient voting systems. The integration of blockchain technology is particularly relevant, given its potential to enhance security and reliability in electronic voting. The originality lies in the proposed architecture that emphasizes non-repudiation and end-to-end verification, distinguishing it from existing electronic voting systems. However, the paper could further enhance its originality by exploring unique use cases or innovations beyond current implementations.
Methodology
The methodology section outlines a clear framework for implementing blockchain in electronic voting; however, it lacks specific details on the technical aspects of the proposed architecture. A more in-depth discussion on how the non-repudiation feature will be operationalized, along with the mechanisms for ensuring end-to-end verification, would strengthen this section. Additionally, outlining the criteria for evaluating the proposed system and how these criteria were established would provide more clarity.
Validity & Reliability
While the article discusses the potential advantages of blockchain in voting, it would benefit from empirical data to support its claims. The inclusion of clinical trials or case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed system in real-world scenarios would enhance validity. Addressing potential biases and limitations in the study would also strengthen the reliability of the findings. Moreover, providing insights into how the proposed system would cope with various challenges, such as cybersecurity threats, would be valuable.
Clarity and Structure
The article is generally well-structured, moving logically from the discussion of existing voting systems to the proposed blockchain solution. However, certain technical terms, such as "non-repudiation" and "end-to-end verification," could be better explained for readers unfamiliar with blockchain technology. Breaking the content into clearly defined sections with headings would improve readability. Additionally, including diagrams or flowcharts to illustrate the proposed architecture would enhance understanding.
Result Analysis
The article provides a thorough examination of the proposed electronic voting system but lacks detailed analysis of the findings from the clinical trials. Presenting quantitative results and discussing how the proposed system outperformed traditional methods in specific metrics (e.g., speed, security, user trust) would make the analysis more robust. Furthermore, addressing potential challenges faced during the implementation of the proposed system and how these were mitigated would provide a more balanced view of the results.
