Blockchain Democracy: A Case for Constituency-Centric E-Voting on Private Ethereum Networks

Blockchain-based Electronic voting (e-voting) systems hold great promise for enhancing the efficiency and safeguarding the integrity of traditional electoral processes. The adoption of blockchain technology, a decentralized ledger system, has become essential to modern e-voting systems, fortifying the security of the electoral process. This research, introduces a practical perspective by fragmenting the blockchain into smaller, constituency-based blockchains, departing from the conventional monolithic single blockchain structure. This approach effectively tackles the formidable challenges associated with elections involving numerous constituencies and a vast electorate. The proposed constituency-based blockchain architecture significantly enhances the adaptability and performance of blockchain technology, enabling it to efficiently manage large voter populations in any country by offering practical recommendations for large scale elections.
