**Affirmed position.** 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
- Primary mapping confidence: 0.3954.
- The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
