Abstract

This research aims to analyze the urgency of implementing a blockchain-based e-voting system for general elections in Indonesia. This research is Normative Legal research using the Statute Approach, Conceptual Approach, and Comparative Approach. The results show that the development of technology and information encourages the need for innovations to organize general elections through electronic voting systems (e-voting) while maintaining the principles of democratic elections. The needs and readiness of Indonesia for technological development are considered when applying the e-voting system to implement elections in Indonesia. Moreover, it is necessary to compare the voting system with conventional elections, including the legal aspects (regulations), the stages of voting implementation, and the effectiveness and efficiency of implementation.
