Abstract: This paper will discuss about the modelling of e-voting system for Indonesian Presidential Election using Ethereum Blockchain and Smart Contract technology. In Indonesia, the election in which the people elect a presidential candidate, directly took place in 2004. However, the voting procedure has never changed since then. The Indonesian Parliament has discussed on using e-voting in early 2008 to minimize fraud and accelerate counting as well as data recapitulation. In this system, Ethereum Blockchain is used as the solution to minimize fraud in the election process. Ethereum Blockchain is a distributed ledger where every vote accepted must be validated and verified by every node. There is Smart Contract feature in the Ethereum which functions as public notary in the system that records and proves the credibility of each vote. However, further enhancement in the supporting technology would be needed in order to be able to implement the proposed design system.
