Blockchain-based anonymized cryptologic voting

A cryptographic voting method including:

• accessing a ballot established on a blockchain,
• the ballot designating multiple answers with corresponding answer identifiers;
• determining a vote-value distribution to assign to the multiple answers,
• the vote-value distribution distributing a voter vote-value received within a voter token;
• generating a committed token for each of the multiple answers,
• the committed tokens configured to bind a voter to the vote-value distribution without revealing individual committed vote-values within individual committed tokens of the committed tokens while the committed tokens are in a cryptographic form, and
• at least one of the committed tokens including a null vote-value;
• and
• requesting a transaction on the blockchain transferring the committed tokens to the multiple answers,
• where transferring at least one of the committed tokens including the null vote-value obfuscates the vote-value distribution.

A cryptographic voting system, including:

• network interface circuitry configured to:
• obtain a ballot established on a distributed ledger,
• the ballot designating answers with corresponding answer identifiers;
• and
• receive, a voter token, the voter token conferring a voter vote-value to a voter, the voter token received responsive to a transaction on the distributed ledger addressed to a voter identifier of the voter;
• cryptologic voting circuitry in communication with the network interface circuitry, the cryptologic voting circuitry configured to:
• determine a target committed vote-value to assign to a target answer of the answers,
• the target committed vote-value including at least a portion of the voter vote-value;
• generate a target committed token,
• the target committed token configured to bind the voter to the target committed vote-value without revealing the target committed vote-value while in a cryptographic form;
• using a cryptographic key associated with the voter identifier,
• request a first transaction on the distributed ledger transferring the target committed token to the corresponding answer identifier of the target answer;
• determine a completion committed vote-value to assign to a second answer of the answers,
• the completion committed vote-value including a null or another portion of the voter vote-value;
• generate a completion committed token configured to bind the voter to the completion committed vote-value without revealing the completion committed vote-value while in the cryptographic form;
• and
• using the cryptographic key associated with the voter identifier, request a second transaction on the distributed ledger transferring the completion committed token to the corresponding answer identifier of the second answer.
