Abstract

Voting is a central component of a country's political life cycle. Privacy, authentication and integrity of citizens' votes and their data are considered to be essential to any e-voting program. In order to resolve these concerns, we propose a stable e-voting system based on the principles of blockchain and machine learning. We use blockchain to ensure the integrity and security of votes, machine learning model to detect intrusion in voting data centers and e-voting stations. In the proposed model, we use the concepts of personal and public blockchain. The personal blockchain is used for the purposes of voter registration and voting. The public blockchain is used to maintain the integrity of the personal data of the voters by storing the root hash derived from the Merkle hash tree and revealing the results of the voting stations as soon as the voting process is completed. The proposed blockchain-based e-voting system offers transparency, treasury, confidence and prevents intrusion into the information exchange network.
