BBB-Voting: 1-out-of-k Blockchain-Based Boardroom Voting with Fault Recovery
Voting is a means to agree on a collective decision based on choices available
(e.g., candidates) where participants (voters) agree to abide by their outcome.
To improve trust in voting, decentralized solutions based on a blockchain can be
employed. A blockchain ensures that all entities in the voting system have the
same view of the actions made by others due to the immutable log. Existing
blockchain-based boardroom voting implementation called Open Voting Network (OVN)
supports only two candidates. We present a blockchain-based approach for
decentralized 1-out-of-k voting and provide a cost-optimized implementation using
Ethereum. We resolve the problem of stalling participants by a fault recovery
protocol.Finally, we compare our implementation with OVN and show that our work
achieves comparable costs in terms of gas consumption.
