Abstract
Digital/online voting has great potential to decrease organizational costs and increase voter turnout because voters do not need to be present during meetings to cast a vote, they can vote from wherever there is an Internet connection. Despite obvious benefits, digital voting solutions are viewed with a great deal of caution because a single vulnerability can lead to distrust in the results of voting and the organization itself. Blockchain technology offers decentralized nodes with pear-to-pear verification advantages, security protection characteristics, non-repudiation and digital signatures. In the paper organization of the Faculty Council session, roles of its members, and the current ways of decision-making are described. This paper proposes using Blockchain to replace the existing voting system using e-mail. Security and data integrity of votes is absolutely provided theoretically. The organization of such a voting system is given in this paper. Voting application and resulting session report is proposed.
