The zkVot Protocol: A Distributed Computation Protocol for Censorship Resistant Anonymous Voting
Abstract
zkVot is a client side trustless distributed computation protocol that utilizes zero knowledge proving technology. It is designed to achieve anonymous and censorship resistant voting while ensuring scalability. The protocol is created as an example of how modular and distributed computation can improve both the decentralization and the scalability of the internet. A complete and working implementation of this paper is available on https://github.com/node101-io/zkvot. It is important to emphasize that zkVot is one of the first complete implementations of a fully censorship resistant anonymous voting application that can scale up to a meaningful number of voters.
