Electronic voting refers to the use of electronic systems for casting and counting votes in elections or governance processes. When applied to blockchain, it involves recording votes on a distributed ledger to ensure immutability, transparency, and resistance to tampering. This method aims to enhance the security and verifiability of voting, providing an auditable trail of all cast ballots. Blockchain-based electronic voting seeks to address trust concerns inherent in traditional systems.
Context

News often covers initiatives exploring its use for corporate governance, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and even national elections. Challenges related to voter privacy, identity verification, and scalability remain central to these discussions.
