摘要：The application of blockchain technology has been considered a breakthrough for the electronic voting system research domain, given that the technology has the potentials to fix the issues of ballot confidentiality, single point of failure, and compromise of election results integrity that have been regarded as the bane of electronic voting systems. However, blockchain technology itself is not without some concerns. Chiefly amongst these concerns are latency and scalability. This paper aims to showcase existing efforts to improve the latency of a blockchain network and to present a Blockchain Implementation Model that improves the latency concern in electronic voting systems, using the Nigeria�s Independent National Electoral Commission as a case study. The study evolved a latency-improved blockchain model that showcases the latency performance of the proposed blockchain-based e-voting system. The result showed a 99.36 percent improvement on the existing blockchain-based e-voting system.
