Abstract
A method for electing a representative node device is performed at a blockchain system, including: obtaining voting transaction data from the node devices, the voting transaction data being used for voting for one or more node devices of the blockchain system as representative node devices; generating and storing the voting transaction data into a target blockchain of the blockchain system when a plurality of node devices of the blockchain system verify the voting transaction data by consensus; and when a quantity of blocks in the target blockchain generated using the voting transaction data reaches a preset quantity, determining an election result according to quantities of votes of the node devices determined from the voting transaction data, the election result identifying a plurality of representative node devices in the blockchain system being configured to generate new blocks for the target blockchain and perform verification on the new blocks by consensus.
