ABSTRACT
While digitalization has continued to alter electoral processes, the integrity, transparency, and security of elections are increasingly complicated. This paper explores ways through which blockchain addresses key challenges in digital elections, such as voter fraud, data manipulation, and lack of transparency, by availing its decentralized nature and cryptographic security
features to increase the trust in digital voting systems. While analyzing theoretical models and case studies, the research shows that blockchain has the potential to fashion an electoral system that will be tamper-proof and transparent, with a guarantee of accuracy and integrity in election results. Implementation of blockchain for digital elections is not all roses, though.
For this technology to realize full potential, issues regarding scalability, privacy concerns, and regulatory compliance need to be addressed. This paper critically analyses these practical chal- lenges and discusses strategies to overcome them. The research, therefore, intends to show how blockchain can change the face of the electoral process and is supposed to provide a roadmap for integrating blockchain technology into digital elections in order for modern democracies to come closer to an increasingly secure, transparent, and reliable voting system.
