In recent decades, several countries have faced political tensions due to citizens' perceptions that their elections are fraudulent; some electors have even chosen not to vote because they believe that the results may be falsified. Thus, electoral fraud is a major issue. E-governance and e-voting are now being used in many countries, some of which are investigating blockchain solutions. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential contributions of blockchain technology to peace on a worldwide level by securing voting systems. Unfortunately, this technology is complex and could potentially generate conflict between actors in elections. Taking an exploratory approach, the authors chose a qualitative method to address this specific topic. Election observers and blockchain experts were interviewed to identify the technology's strengths and weaknesses. Our results emphasize the importance of trust and human factors in the voting process.
近几十年来，由于公民认为选举存在欺诈行为，一些国家面临政治紧张局势；一些选民甚至选择不投票，因为他们认为选举结果可能被篡改。因此，选举欺诈是一个重大问题。目前许多国家正在使用电子政务和电子投票，其中一些国家正在研究区块链解决方案。本研究的目的是通过保障投票系统的安全，调查区块链技术在全球范围内对和平的潜在贡献。不幸的是，这项技术很复杂，可能会在选举中的行为主体之间引发冲突。作者采用探索性方法，选择了一种定性方法来处理这个特定主题。研究人员采访了选举观察员和区块链专家，以确定该技术的优缺点。我们的研究结果强调了投票过程中信任和人为因素的重要性。
