Abstract
Moving from conventional to the electronic voting machines has brought up problems of trust, transparency and security, which has been worsen by centralized infrastructures. All e-voting systems in use today may benefit from the immutability and decentralization of block chain, but also suffer from scalability issues, single-chain bottleneck effects, and weak voter identity authentication, rendering them hardly suitable for large-scale elections. To fill this gap, this study introduces a new interoperable blockchain e-voting scheme based on blockchain technology that supports multi-chain compatibility, decentralized identity (DID), and biometric mechanism for more robust voter verification. It's a Polkadot based project that uses Ethereum smart contracts and interacts with it in combination with a React based frontend and processes that uses data manipulation and storage using MongoDB their off-chain storage mechanism, this would allow for fair, transparent and tamper proof elections run across various block chain systems. Through extensive testing, 98% accuracy in voter authentication was achieved and simulations validated robustness towards vote manipulation, double voting and unauthorized access. With the integration of blockchain interoperability, now they became: System was more flexible and high-performing Increased number of voters (25%) Higher figures were observed on platforms with lower transaction fees, such as on Polygon.
