Abstract: In modern democracies, ensuring the security and transparency of voting systems is essential. Traditional electronic voting methods face challenges such as data tampering, centralized control, and limited public trust. This paper explores a blockchain-based voting system designed to overcome these issues through decentralization, immutability, and cryptographic verification. A prototype model is developed using smart contracts to automate vote casting and counting while ensuring voter anonymity and preventing duplicate votes. System performance is evaluated based on scalability, transaction speed, and security. The study also addresses practical concerns like voter authentication and regulatory compliance. Results indicate that blockchain technology offers a promising foundation for building secure, transparent, and verifiable electoral systems, potentially strengthening democratic processes and increasing voter confidence in future digital elections.
