Electronic voting or e-voting has been used in varying forms since 1970s with fundamental benefits over paper-based systems such as increased efficiency and reduced errors. [] Key Method The article presents details of the proposed e-voting scheme along with its implementation using Multichain platform. The article also presents an in-depth evaluation of the scheme which successfully demonstrates its effectiveness to achieve an end-to-end verifiable e-voting scheme.

Bingo Voting: Secure and Coercion-Free Voting Using a Trusted Random Number Generator

A new verifiable and coercion-free voting scheme Bingo Voting is presented, which is based on a trusted random number generator, which shows the practicality of the scheme: all costly computations can be moved to a non time critical pre-voting phase.

Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System

This work proposes a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network, where the network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof- of-work.

Every Vote Counts: Ensuring Integrity in Large-Scale Electronic Voting

This paper presents a new End-to-End (E2E) verifiable e-voting protocol for large-scale elections, called Direct Recording Electronic with Integrity (DRE-i), which does not involve any Tallying Authorities (TAs), and calls this new category “self-enforcing electronic voting”.
