The main objective of this paper is to understand what and how deploying a digital voting system in a democratic country would look and what challenges a potential architect of such a system might confront. The study will also focus on using blockchain to solve specific barriers that might appear in the quest for a digitized voting system. By exploring the confluence of technology and democracy, this research underscores the importance of technological innovation in democratic participation and governance. This paper will cover the fundamentals of blockchain, its integration within electronic voting systems, examination of its technical attributes, societal impacts, regulatory compliance, and a proposed blockchain-based e-voting system. Certain features of blockchain present a promising solution to longstanding challenges in electronic voting systems, such as ensuring security, integrity, compliance, and public trust. The initial sections of the paper provide an in-depth analysis of blockchain’s theoretical basis, emphasizing how its unique attributes can safeguard the electoral process against fraud and manipulation. Even more so, security techniques like cryptography and consensus mechanisms are also studied in this section. Following this inquiry, the study investigates the societal implications of deploying an e-voting system in a democracy, drawing insights from the experiences of various European countries. This exploration reveals the critical role of societal acceptance, efficient technical solutions, and legal frameworks in successfully implementing new voting methods. Next, the design phase articulates a viable system architecture that balances several components: efficiency, control, security, and transparency. The suggested architecture considers critical factors such as voter anonymity, vote integrity, and the unique ability to modify votes within the voting period while aligning with democratic principles and regulatory standards. In summary, this paper presents a complete analysis of digital voting, including technical and societal considerations, steps to deploy such a system in a democratic country, and, more importantly, blockchain technology’s potential to revolutionize it further. Integrating theoretical knowledge, societal insights, and practical design considerations offers a blueprint or framework for future advancements in creating digital democracies.
