Abstract

The emergence of Bitcoin showed a new approach to old paradigms, incorporating the Blockchain in itself, solving several issues related to digital currency, and opened the way for other areas to enjoy their capabilities, their ability to merge with other technologies proved capable of solve the most diverse situations. Some lines of research search through the Blockchain, improve the conventional voting system, showing solutions to questions until then unanswered. Using its decentralized and transparent form to guarantee the smoothness of the electoral process, all the votes stored in the Blockchain network are immutable and the network's own nodes guarantee that they are true, since nothing is included without the network nodes giving their endorsement. archiving, this poll record is extremely auditable, can be verified to any one by anyone. Using encryption to encrypt the data sent by the communication medium, it makes the conversation between the nodes of the network secure, preventing data from being read, altered, or some erroneous information reaching the other nodes. System integration provides the required authentication of each eligible voter by eliminating duplicate votes. Electronic voting is moving toward remote voting, where portable devices that are always connected to the Internet can become a means of voting anywhere, at any time.
