Abstract

The local election system is based on traditional paper methods, which poses various risks to the security and integrity of the electoral process. In an effort to address these challenges and improve the accuracy and transparency of elections in Libya, this paper proposes the implementation of a blockchain-based e-voting system. Leveraging blockchain's decentralized nature, cryptographic foundations, and transparency, the proposed system aims to replace the paper-based method and provide a secure and transparent solution that ensures the integrity and tamper-proof platform of the election process. Additionally, the implementation of a proof-of-work consensus algorithm will ensure that the system is decentralized and operates in a transparent manner, ensuring the accuracy and security of the election results. This paper will provide a viable solution to the existing challenges in the Libyan election system and support the country's journey towards a more secure, transparent, and democratic future
