Abstract-:Blockchain technology provides a decentralized, transparent, and immutable infrastructure capable of revolutionizing electoral systems. This paper investigates the application of blockchain in voting systems, focusing on its potential to enhance election security, voter privacy, and trust. Key features such as smart contracts, cryptographic anonymity, and tamper-proof ledgers offer promising solutions to electoral fraud, vote tampering, and voter suppression. However, adoption is hindered by scalability limitations, legal barriers, and accessibility concerns. The study concludes that integrating blockchain with biometric authentication and regulatory oversight can pave the way for secure and verifiable electronic voting systems.
