        abstract = {The credibility of digital election systems depends on structural transparency, resistance to manipulation, and independently verifiable result computation. Conventional electronic voting infrastructures typically operate under centralized administrative supervision, introducing vulnerabilities such as insider interference, database compromise, and limited audit transparency. This paper presents a decentralized voting framework built upon blockchain infrastructure to embed tamper resistance and programmable governance directly within the system architecture. In the proposed model, votes are represented as cryptographically signed transactions validated through distributed consensus and permanently recorded on an immutable ledger. Smart contracts autonomously enforce eligibility verification, prevent duplicate voting, and compute final tallies without manual intervention. The architecture integrates identity abstraction mechanisms to preserve voter confidentiality while maintaining structural auditability. A prototype implementation using Ethereum, Solidity, and a web-based interface demonstrates operational feasibility for institutional-scale elections. Security modeling and performance evaluation indicate that decentralized validation significantly enhances structural resilience and public verifiability compared to centralized voting systems.},
