Right2Vote offers clients Blockchain as an optional premium feature. Right2Vote’s end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, secret ballot, audit trail, voter receipt, voter selfie and other security and transparency features ensure 100% security and transparency. However, some organisations still want an extra layer of security in the form of blockchain.
Data storage via blockchain is tamper-proof, as explained above, due to the block and chain method. Certain elections are so sensitive that people do not want to trust the management committee, the election officer and also the software company. In such cases, Right2Vote provides the option to organisations to save a copy of the vote data on a blockchain-enabled cloud server under the control of the independently appointed election committee.
The premium feature of Blockchain is not suited for all elections. For low-value elections or elections without a secret ballot, blockchain is an overkill. The blockchain technology is very costly as it creates multiple distributed ledgers. 1000 ledger means 1000x computing requirement. This increases the computing and digital storage costs substantially.
Another disadvantage of blockchain is the speed. As data is stored in multiple ledgers, and a block of data is formed at regular intervals, this slows down the speed. The client opting for the blockchain method should be open to compromise on speed.
The blockchain premium feature is a good option for elections where security, transparency, and perception of security & transparency are very important and there are no budget constraints.
By combining blockchain-inspired security, certified systems, and real-world experience, Right2Vote continues to lead the future of secure and transparent eVoting in India.
