It is a challenging task to build an electronically secure voting system. In 2005, the US Pentagon canceled a proposed online voting system that would allow foreign military members to vote in elections, saying it was impossible to verify the authenticity of the ballots. However, there is a new call to send a blockchain voting in the wild. The blockchain acts as a nonrefundable public book for transactions. An important contract of employment (i.e. genuine votes) is achieved 'with the consent of the miners to ensure new records are added. A new job record is generated whenever new submissions are required, such as votes, by the voter adding his or her vote information to the blockchain If it is confirmed that the transaction is valid, the new vote is added to the end of the blockchain and remains there in eternity. The brilliance of this system is that no centralize authority is needed to approve the votes; instead, a majority consensus is required. Because they can count the votes themselves and because of the blockchain audit trail, everyone can verify that no votes were tampered with or illegal votes were introduced, everyone agrees on the final result. The applicability of blockchain to voting is discussed in this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
