Anonymous Decentralized E-Voting System

This document describes the principles for building an anonymous decentralized e-voting system. It is proposed to use a ring signature mechanism to ensure anonymity of voters and blockchain technology to ensure the integrity and transparency of the transaction history. Thus, it can be beneficial to use such a combination to ensure the maximal robustness of the systems in the realworld conditions with the persistence of a potential malefactor that is interested to disrupt the work of the system, change the data in some way or influence the processes that are happening inside of the system.
