This is where blockchain technology can mark a sea change: greater security in the processes, more transparency, and accessibility in the voting system. Traditional systems always tend to be prone to pitfalls such as voter fraud, manipulation, and lack of transparency-whether paper-based or electronic. Blockchain is the decentralized, tamper-proof ledger that helps in keeping every vote safe and transparent.
In blockchain, each of the votes encrypts independently in a block added into the chain. Consequently, after each vote, it cannot be changed or deleted after every vote. That means immutability reduces space for election tampering and builds trust in voting once something is on the blockchain. Besides, blockchain enhances transparency; because voters independently verify their votes-that votes are recorded and tabulated correctly-to increase confidence in the outcome of the election.
A blockchain-based voting system can also ensure more accessibility through remote voting via digital channels. This will be greatly useful, especially for those people who, for a number of reasons, are compelled to vote personally at centers. It could be the overseas citizens, or the people vulnerable to sickly conditions, or even living in remote areas. Thus, it ensures online voting security in a fully secure manner. Blockchain increases voter participation, and hence the elections are all-inclusive.
