Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar (MPP) voting system uses blockchain technology.

This research delves into the realm of electoral systems, focusing on the challenges inherent in the current manual voting system for the election of Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar (MPP) members at the National Defence University of Malaysia (UPNM). The inefficiencies of the existing system necessitate a modernized approach, prompting an exploration into the integration of blockchain technology for a more secure and streamlined voting process. The primary objectives of this study are to develop a web based MPP election system fortified by blockchain technology. The scope encompasses a comprehensive analysis of the existing manual voting procedures, a comparative study with analogous systems at other universities, and the proposal of a novel blockchain-based solution tailored to UPNM's specific requirements. Materials for the study include academic works, publications, online sources, and relevant secondary materials. The methodology involves a thorough examination of the current manual voting system, comparative analyses with similar systems, and an in-depth review of blockchain-based voting systems implemented elsewhere. The study adheres to standard procedures for literature review, data collection, and analysis. Key findings reveal the limitations of the current manual voting system, emphasizing the need for a more accessible and secure alternative. Trends observed in analogous systems underscore the effectiveness of blockchain technology in enhancing the integrity and security of the voting process. The discussion revolves around the implications of the findings, emphasizing the potential of blockchain to address the identified challenges. The abstract concludes with suggestions for future work, encouraging further research and development to refine the proposed blockchain-based MPP election system. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on leveraging technology to optimize electoral processes within academic institutions.
