Abstract

Traditional elections satisfy neither citizens nor political authorities in recent years. They are not fully secure since it is easy to attack votes.

Voter privacy is another requirement that is ensured in the system. Lastly, waiting time for results decreased significantly in proposed Blockchain voting system.
