Blockchain-Based Quantum Resistant Electoral Management System for the Post-Pandemic Era

Abstract

The recent pandemic crisis has caused widespread worry for the community. Stay at Home and Large-Scale Social Restrictions implementation in various locations have been strongly advocated by the government. One of the points of contention is when regional leaders will be elected to the position of general chairman. Even though a protective legislation existed, it was not deemed safe in the outbreak. The implementation of a blockchain-based E-voting system to combat election in this kind of situations is the solution proposed in this study. Many countries have been acquiring blockchain technology under their control for reasons of reliability and security, especially in the quantum era, when all the traditional security approaches would become outdated. Because it uses a decentralised system and the full database is held by multiple users, blockchain technology is one of the best options when it comes to trust-less transactions. Recently blockchain gained momentum and advancement as a result of digitalization applications. One such application is digital voting system. Elections can be extremely costly in India, but the expenses can be substantially reduced by using a blockchain-based digital voting mechanism. Although it appears to be simple, there are additional considerations to be made, such as privacy and security concerns. Efficiency and reliability should also be maintained because it applies to a humongous number of people or areas. Furthermore, a single flaw can result in a considerable quantity of vote manipulation. When compared to electronic voting, a blockchain-based quantum resistant voting system is more accurate, secure, and convenient.
