Abstract:
A system may facilitate distributed ledger technology (DLT) record based (for example, blockchain-based) voting. A node configured to support a voter role may access a DLT record to determine answers and/or parameters for a ballot. An organizer of the ballot may provide the voter with a voter token that confers vote-value to the voter. The voter may distribute the vote-value to the answers using committed tokens that bind the voter to a particular vote-value without divulging the particular vote value while in a cryptographic form. The voter may distribute committed tokens to multiple answers. In some cases, the distribution of the committed tokens to multiple answers may frustrate attempts to determine the one or more targets to which the voter delivers a non-null vote-value.

Claim (Index 11):
A cryptographic voting method including:\n accessing a ballot established on a blockchain,\n the ballot designating multiple answers with corresponding answer identifiers; \n determining a vote-value distribution to assign to the multiple answers,\n the vote-value distribution distributing a voter vote-value received within a voter token; \n generating a committed token for each of the multiple answers,\n 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 \n at least one of the committed tokens including a null vote-value; and \n requesting a transaction on the blockchain transferring the committed tokens to the multiple answers,\n where transferring at least one of the committed tokens including the null vote-value obfuscates the vote-value distribution.
