Abstract

This research paper explores the potential of transforming governance by shifting the focus of electoral participation from individual candidates to their manifestos, alongside proposing a public voting mechanism for tax allocation. By integrating blockchain technology, this model aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement in the democratic process. It posits that decentralizing authority and empowering the public can mitigate corruption and promote a more responsive government aligned with community needs.
