    Abstract

    Since then, there have been some ways of voting. Over the world, paper ballots are the most common voting format. Only in the past ten years have electronic voting methods gained popularity, and they remain unaddressed. E-voting systems have issues mostly with functionality, security, legitimacy, and openness. Estonia is the innovator in this area and might be regarded as the cutting edge. Nevertheless, there aren't many alternatives that use blockchain. All of the aforementioned issues can be solved with blockchain, which also offers benefits like immutability and decentralisation. The primary issues with blockchain-based technology used for electronic voting are their narrow focus or a lack of testing and comparison. In this paper, we introduce a general-purpose e-voting platform built on a blockchain. Blockchain uses it to the fullest extent possible and has the capacity to manage all procedures. When the voting process has begun, the platform operates as though it is completely autonomous and decentralised, with no potential for interference. Although the data are completely visible, homomorphic encryption protects the voters' identities. We put our approach to the test on three distinct blockchains and compared the results. The findings demonstrate that both public and private blockchains may be used with only a little speed difference. The main innovation of our solution is the fully decentralised management of the e-voting platform through blockchain, transparency of the entire process, and privacy and security of the voters thanks to homomorphic encryption
