  Abstract

The latest research shows the benefits, the impact, and the usage of Blockchain and decentralized systems with a high confidence. Its popularity becomes even higher with the electronic voting systems based on the technology itself. In this paper we propose a new implementation of an electronic voting system based on Blockchain using ECDSA with blind signatures. Additionally, the system is compared with other electronic voting systems based on Blockchain technology. Mainly these types of systems hardly ever fulfill the scalability. Nevertheless, our system has an advantage in comparison with the other systems. Since the idea of the Blockchain technology is to show the flexibility and equal privileges to all nodes, this implementation with Angular and Spring Boot shows that, so everyone can track the chain. To sum up, this implementation can have a good usage in smaller departments, because of the performances and all mathematical operations.
