Abstract
An anonymous online voting system based on blockchain is proposed for the problem that the voting process details are not public, citizens do not trust, and the results cannot be verified. Using the characteristics of blockchain cryptography and distributed networks, it is possible to perfectly solve the problem of voting data security and server single point of failure. Recording by the id of the account for data verification in the future. The pricing mechanism of the Ethereum system can effectively prevent the situation of one vote and more investment, and truly realizes the openness and transparency of the voting process technically, and realizes the anonymity of the voter identity to a certain extent. In the long term, it is planned to study IPFS distributed storage in depth and distribute the voting data of the uplink to different nodes to achieve higher security and transparency.
