Blockchain Technology in Improving Transparency and Efficiency in Government Operations

Abstract

Blockchain technology has garnered significant attention and investment in various industries, including the government and public sector. This research paper explores how blockchain technology can enhance government operations by making them more transparent and efficient. A literature review and case studies of blockchain implementation in government are conducted to identify the key benefits and challenges of this technology. The paper also provides examples of blockchain applications in government, such as voting systems. This paper explores the benefits of using blockchain technology in creating a secure and transparent voting system. The proposed blockchain-based voting system uses smart contracts to automate the voting process and eliminate the need for intermediaries, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the vote count. The use of blockchain technology also enables the creation of an immutable and transparent ledger of all voting transactions, ensuring that the election results are auditable and verifiable. The paper also discusses the potential challenges associated with implementing a blockchain-based voting system and suggests possible solutions to address these challenges.
