Bie Vote: A Biometric Identification Enabled Blockchain-Based Secure and Transparent Voting Framework

In this research, we investigate the current trends of voting technology, online voting, and possible opportunities to adopt both blockchain technology and biometrics technology in the voting system. According to the literature review, we determine that the existing electronic voting system raises concerns in terms of transparency, security, and trust across the globe. Thus, we aim to propose a biometric-enabled and hyperledger fabric-based architectural framework for e-Voting applications to automate identity verification that shall address the existing concern. In our extension work, we are aiming to provide a high-level architectural framework and implement the system in a real-world scenario.
