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 1):
A cryptographic voting method including:\n obtaining a ballot established on a distributed ledger,\n the ballot designating answers with corresponding answer identifiers; \n receiving, a voter token, the voter token conferring a voter vote-value to a voter,\n the voter token received responsive to a transaction on the distributed ledger, and \n the transaction addressed to a voter identifier of the voter; \n determining a target committed vote-value to assign to a target answer of the answers,\n the target committed vote-value including at least a portion of the voter vote-value; \n generating a target committed token,\n 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; \n requesting a first transaction on the distributed ledger,\n the first transaction transferring the target committed token to the corresponding answer identifier of the target answer; \n determining a completion committed vote-value to assign to a second answer of the answers,\n the completion committed vote-value including: \n a null, or \n another portion of the voter vote-value; \n generating a completion committed token configured to:\n bind the voter to the completion committed vote-value without revealing the completion committed vote-value while in the cryptographic form; and \n requesting a second transaction on the distributed ledger, and\n the second transaction transferring the completion committed token to the corresponding answer identifier of the second answer.
