Abstract
An electronic voting system includes a terminal, authentication servers, and voting servers. Each authentication server includes an authentication processor that authenticates a voter using authentication data, and a first synchronizer that synchronizes a first blockchain including first transaction data with at least one other authentication server. The authentication data including a first identifier and authentication information. Each voting server includes a voting processor that receives voting data including a second identifier and voting information, and a second synchronizer that synchronizes a second blockchain including the voting information as second transaction data with at least one other voting server. Each voting server further includes a block generator that connects a block including the second transaction data to the second blockchain, and a determiner that determines the block to include the second transaction data. The terminal transmits the authentication data to at least one other authentication server and transmits the voting data to one of the voting servers after authentication.
