A Digital Voting System for the 21st Century

We present Terminus, a voting system based on blockchain technology. Terminus relies on technology solutions pioneered by Monero, a privacy-focused Blockchain, and on specifically designed operational procedures: this guarantees full anonymity of the vote and addresses several concerns of digital voting systems. Terminus was tested at an event of an Italian political movement, and will be used to carry out polls to drive some of the political decisions of this movement. We also introduce an evaluation framework for DLT voting systems, and use it to compare existing systems.
