        abstract = {Traditional voting systems rely on either paper ballots or Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), both of which were introduced to ensure the integrity and credibility of democratic elections. Voter verification via either electronic means and/or manual verification with a witness as to the voter's identity. that every citizen has access to vote; voter anonymity; integrity of intent behind the vote; and that voters will not be influenced or coerced into voting a particular way. However, today’s elections do not provide these same protections to voters as there are vulnerabilities that can undermine the system: tampering of ballots, mistakes made by poll workers, concerns regarding fraud; and a lack of transparency. In this paper, we investigate how a blockchain-based voting system could potentially eliminate these vulnerabilities. 
Blockchain technology presents many new benefits over traditional voting methods as a result of its decentralized nature which gives rise to many opportunities for verification of a voter's identity through multiple channels.; it utilizes hashing algorithms, which make it virtually impossible to change any vote without detection; and it provides a means to restore lost data from multiple sources. Thus, a blockchain-based voting solution provides a more secure, reliable, and efficient way to conduct future elections.},
