A Conceptual Consortium Blockchain Model to Enhance Integrity and Auditability in Indonesia’s Election Result Recapitulation

Muhammad Hadi Pranowo, Yani Nurhadryani, Irman Hermadi

Abstract

Election results recapitulation requires stakeholder participation, data integrity, and auditability. However, electronic systems remain largely centralized and provide limited support for multi-stakeholder involvement, traceable audit trails, and verifiable record integrity. This study formalizes the recapitulation process as a rule-based state-transition model and proposes a consortium Blockchain architecture as a parallel recapitulation channel. Built on Hyperledger Fabric, the network comprises peer nodes representing election officials, supervisors, and witnesses, and is governed by smart contracts with policy-driven endorsement. The model encodes stakeholder roles, cryptographic document binding through IPFS content identifiers and hash verification, and rule-based state validation, with emphasis on arithmetic consistency and plenary time-window constraints. The artifact is evaluated through regulatory compliance mapping and computational testing. The results show that the model enables multiparty verification, preserves auditable transaction history, and maintains verifiable linkage between recapitulation records and supporting documents, while constraining accepted state transitions to defined arithmetic and procedural rules.
