FORTIFYING ELECTORAL INTEGRITY: A BLOCKCHAIN-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR IMMUTABLE AND TRANSPARENT ELECTION RESULTS

Abstract

Amid escalating political tensions and technological vulnerabilities, electoral processes worldwide face unprecedented scrutiny and risk. This study introduces a model with permissioned blockchain technology to enhance the confidentiality, consistency, and immutability of election results. We conducted a comprehensive assessment on existing election platforms, adopting Zero Trust principles - continuous authentication, least-privilege access, and micro-segmentation, we developed a blockchain-based consensus mechanism to secure vote transactions. The developed N-Zero Trust–Blockchain prototype undergoes rigorous testing, demonstrating robust resistance to unauthorized access, tampering attempts, and data breaches without sacrificing system performance. Results show that our framework provides end-to-end verifiability and auditability, empowering election authorities and stakeholders with transparent, tamper-evident records. By delivering a scalable, resilient solution for secure electoral management, this research offers a practical roadmap for deploying advanced security strategies in national and organizational elections, thereby bolstering democratic resilience and public confidence.
