Advancements in blockchain technology and network technology are bringing in a new era in electronic voting systems. These systems are characterized by enhanced security, efficiency, and accessibility. In this paper, we compose a comparative analysis of blockchain-based electronic voting (e-voting) systems using blockchain technology, cryptographic techniques, counting methods, and security requirements. The core of the analysis involves a detailed examination of blockchain-based electronic voting systems, focusing on the variations in architecture, cryptographic techniques, vote counting methods, and security. We also introduce a novel blockchain-based e-voting system, which integrates advanced methodologies, including the Borda count and Condorcet method, into e-voting systems for improved accuracy and representation in vote tallying. The system’s design features a flexible and amendable blockchain structure, ensuring robustness and security. Practical implementation on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ demonstrates the system’s feasibility and adaptability in diverse environments. Our study of the evolution of e-voting systems and the incorporation of blockchain technology contributes to the development of secure, transparent, and efficient solutions for modern democratic governance.
