As Korea considers e-voting for overseas voters, blockchain voting is again being discussed for national elections.
This article examines the NEC’s K-Voting and zkVoting to assess Korea’s progress and what remains before national adoption.
Key Takeaways
-K-Voting is an online voting service run by the NEC, but is not used for presidential or parliamentary elections.
-zkVoting uses real/fake keys and removes fake ballots to provide Coercion Resistance and E2E Verifiability.
-Blockchain acts mainly as a Bulletin Board for ballots and proofs, while security also depends on ZKPs, encryption, commitments, and key issuance.
-zkVoting assumes trusted authorities, channels, and devices. K-Voting also lacks public detail on node operation, permissions, consensus, and external verification, leaving trust gaps before national use.
