Assalamu Alaikum





How are you all? Today I will discuss with you about Blockchain voting systems I will try to present my experience. I am young and have very little experience so please excuse any mistakes.
The blockchain voting system is decentralized and completely open, further ensuring that voters are protected. This means that anyone can count votes with blockchain electronic voting, but no one knows who voted for whom. In the past few years, several startup companies have started promoting Internet voting systems, this time with a new twist – voted ballots sent from voters' personal devices.

The use of blockchain in an election situation will do little to address key security requirements of voting, such as voter verifiability. . The security contributions provided by blockchain are better obtained in other ways.Over the past few years several startup companies have started promoting internet voting systems, this time with a new twist – using blockchain as the container for voted ballots sent from voters' personal devices.

Proponents tout them as a revolutionary innovation that provides strong security guarantees that can make online elections safe from cyber attacks. Like other online election architectures, a blockchain election is vulnerable to a long list of threats that would leave it open to hacking and manipulation by anyone on the Internet, and the attack could never be detected or remedied. A secure and trustworthy Internet is sufficient to conduct elections. Scientific progress will be required The use of blockchain in an election scenario would do little to address key security requirements of voting, such as voter verifiability. The security contributions provided by blockchain are better achieved in other ways. In the particular case of internet voting, the blockchain approach does not solve the security issues associated with internet voting. In this short article we will try to explain why blockchain cannot provide the necessary security guarantees for safe online elections.But the gist is simple: most critical vulnerabilities threaten the integrity and privacy of voting before reaching the blockchain. Blockchain is a type of distributed data storage that is usually, but not always, intended to be collectively owned and managed. By a group of independent and mutually distrustful organizations, acting as peers without a leader or central authority. In a blockchain-based election the blockchain acts as a distributed ballot box that contains the voted ballot, although it is sometimes used to hold other information as well.
