Abstract
Electronic voting has emerged as a competitive alternative to traditional paper-based methods to address inconsistencies and enhance security in voting systems. Recent dissatisfaction with the security and openness of conventional voting systems has prompted a search for more secure and tamper-resistant alternatives. This study investigates the potential transformation of the Bangladeshi voting system through blockchain technology—a digital ledger that can instill trust and inclusivity in elections. During the last quarter of 2023, 108 participants completed an online survey. The study employs SPSS-based regression analysis as the research method. The findings reveal that all dimensions of the blockchain model significantly and positively impact preventing voters from tracing their identity. To acknowledge limitations, the study focused on blockchain technology users in Khulna and Jessore City, recognizing potential variations based on the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) facility. This research aims to aid the government in understanding key factors influencing the adoption of blockchain technology to secure identity in the e-voting system.
Key words: Blockchain, Electronic Voting, Real-time Voting, Decentralisation, Crypto.
