Blockchain-Based Electronic Voting System for Tamper-Proof Elections presents the following source proposition: In this research, it aimed to design and evaluate a blockchain-based electronic voting system that ensures voter privacy, increases transparency, and can efficiently manage large-scale elections. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Before blockchain technology and cryptographic security, a dictatorship was necessary for governing a large network because more sophisticated governance architectures such as democracies could not govern efficiently at that scale. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
