Is it true that Blockchain-based voting systems can securely run public elections?
Partly. Several peer-reviewed proposals and prototypes claim blockchain e-voting can provide security, immutability and verifiability, but these are designs and small-scale systems rather than evidence from running public elections. Systematic reviews and one arXiv paper identify unresolved scalability, ballot-secrecy and fairness problems, so the evidence only partially addresses whether such systems can securely run public elections.
