Over time, the quest for secure and efficient systems has driven the transition from paper ballots to Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Nonetheless, persistent concerns surrounding EVM security have spurred the exploration of blockchain-based voting systems. The inherent attributes of transparency and immutability offered by blockchain technology hold promise in augmenting the security and integrity of the voting process. However, blockchain-based voting systems encounter their own distinct challenges. This paper presents a pioneering hybrid voting system model that harmonizes the merits of existing systems with the potential of blockchain technology. In this hybrid model, the authentication of voters is collaboratively facilitated by government employees and blockchain technology. Subsequently, voters can securely register their votes within the blockchain. Striving to strike a delicate equilibrium between convenience and security, this model aims to engender a resilient and all-encompassing voting system that inspires trust. A comprehensive assessment of the strengths and limitations inherent in traditional voting systems is undertaken, while simultaneously exploring the vast potential of blockchain technology. By effectively addressing the concerns pertaining to security and integrity, the proposed hybrid model aspires to forge a path toward a voting system that is both resilient and unequivocally trusted. ©2024 IEEE.and hybrid modelauthenticationblockchaindemocracyEVMintegritysecuritytransparencyvoting
