LUCUY, Gabriel Alejandro; KOLLER VARGAS, Sergio Andres  and  GALABURDA, Yanina. Model and electronic voting system applying Blockchain technology. RevActaNova. [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.2, pp.236-256. ISSN 1683-0789.

For the past years, different mechanisms have been implemented to ensure the necessary requirements of an electoral process: freedom, fairness, openness, secrecy and democracy. There are traditional electoral processes and electronic voting processes that use technological tools. Unfortunately, the procedures applied do not ensure the accomplishments of these requirements in their absoluteness, so the integrity of the information or the fight against fraud could be affected. This article presents an electronic voting model that integrates aspects of the traditional model, the Blockchain technology and the transactional infrastructure of Bitcoin cryptographic currency, to implement a decentralized and anonymous vote, ensuring the integrity of the data before any possible difficulty that may arise. Likewise, this article presents an implementation of the model applied to the different electoral processes that Bolivia has and a study case to evaluate the implementation of the model.

Keywords : Blockchain; Bitcoin; Electronic voting; Electoral process; Bolivia.
