ABSTRACT
Councils are a common organisational structure of Portuguese Universities and Polytechnic Institutes. They make the key decisions, in these organisations, by nominal voting at assembly meetings. The COVID pandemic forced the remote work upon most organisations, including universities and polytechnic institutes. Assuming that a remote assembly requires additional efforts in order to guarantee the integrity of the majority decisions taken by votes expressed by its members, opportunity arises for the use of a blockchain-assisted voting system. Benefits of blockchain, such as verifiability, immutability, tamper resistant, and its distributed nature appear to be a good fit. We propose a novel blockchain-assisted system to support the decision making of academic councils that operate by nominal voting in assemblies, gathering remotely and online. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
