Popis:	Blockchain technology adoption rate is fast growing as seen in cryptocurrency and distributed finance (DiFi) domains. It is also getting lots of attention in many other application areas including electronic voting(e-voting) systems. The electronic voting system is an interesting application use case for blockchain because it helps to solve critical problems within that space- the integrity of voting data, the secrecy of the ballot, and single point of failure. This is because of the characteristics that blockchain technology embodies. One of the challenges, however, is with the scalability of the blockchain network, how the blockchain technology can power the scalability of systems built on it. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to present a Blockchain Implementation Model that tackles scalability concerns for E-Voting System. This model can be adaptable in any national election, specifically, Nigeria’s national elections. The resulting model would present a scalable electronic voting framework by leveraging the security and integrity infrastructures that blockchain technology brings to bear.
