Abstract(s)
In this work, we present a decentralized and self-tallying electronic
voting protocol that substantially enhances the privacy of voters and diminishes
centralization. ese properties are accomplished through a symbiotic relationship
between the Ethereum Blockchain and the Portuguese electronic ID. Unlike
previously proposed Blockchain e-voting protocols, this is the rst implementation
that more closely ful lls most of the security requirements of a real-world
voting scheme. Furthermore, our system improves currently in-use e-Voting systems
by using a self-tallying protocol. us, each voting citizen is able to compute
the election tally and has complete control over their own vote. e execution
of this protocol is enforced using the consensus mechanism that safeguards
the Ethereum Blockchain. To prove its feasibility, we tested the implementation
on the o cial PoW (Proof of Work) test network of Ethereum (Ropsten). e -
nancial and computational breakdowns are on par with the leading Blockchain
e-voting protocol.
