This study has developed a blockchain-based e-ballot application to provide a secure electronic voting system that offers the same degree of equality and privacy as existing voting services but with the added transparency and flexibility that electronic voting systems provide. The purpose of employing blockchain as a service, in conjunction with distributed ledger technologies to construct an electronic voting system is to address the drawbacks faced by existing voting system while also making it more cost efficient.
