Blockchain-Based Electronic Voting System for Elections in Turkey
This addresses election integrity and efficiency issues for voters and authorities in Turkey, but is incremental as blockchain voting is an established concept.
The paper tackles the problems of security, privacy, and slow vote-counting in traditional elections by proposing a blockchain-based electronic voting system for Turkey, resulting in theoretically absolute security and significantly reduced waiting times for results.
Traditional elections satisfy neither citizens nor political authorities in recent years. They are not fully secure since it is easy to attack votes. It threatens also privacy and transparency of voters. Additionally, it takes too much time to count the votes. This paper proposes a solution using Blockchain to eliminate all the disadvantages of conventional elections. Security and data integrity of votes are absolutely provided theoretically. Voter privacy is another requirement that is ensured in the system. Lastly, the waiting time for results decreased significantly in the proposed Blockchain voting system.
