Abstract:

Blockchain is one of the prominent technologies, the trend of blockchain in IoT application in free and fair elections creating positive changes for the public sector. IoT integration in blockchain-based electronic voting systems provides secure device authentication and real-time monitoring, ensuring security, transparency, and accuracy. We proposed solution for building an online voting system, called EVB, leverages Ethereum as a smart contract on a digital platform. Experimental results demonstrate the scalability potential of EVB by comparing processing performance and costs across different blockchain layers, including layer 1 - Ethereum, layer 2 - Polygon, and sidechain - BSC. The utilization of Merkle tree enhances security, controls user numbers, and reduces costs significantly. Additionally, the computational complexity of Optimistic Rollup suggests that switching to layer 2 is unnecessary. Account abstraction is applied to support user payments, thereby facilitating transaction fee support and laying the groundwork for the expansion of the EVB voting system on IoT environment.
