The rapid advancement of information technologies and the widespread adoption of blockchain have led to significant transformations in political participation and electoral systems. One of the major concerns of electronic voting is ensuring security, transparency, and public trust in the outcomes. The central question of this study is how cyber law can contribute to managing the security risks of blockchain-based electronic elections. The importance of this research arises from the fact that despite blockchain’s advantages—such as immutability, transparency, and decentralization—risks such as cyberattacks, vote manipulation, misuse of personal data, and international legal challenges remain. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of cyber law frameworks in identifying, preventing, and managing these risks. The research method is descriptive–analytical and based on document analysis, relying on legal, security, and technological sources. Findings indicate that cyber law plays a crucial role in mitigating threats and enhancing public trust through the establishment of binding regulations for data protection, criminalization of cyber electoral crimes, development of transparent dispute resolution mechanisms, and oversight of technical compliance with security standards. The novelty of this paper lies in combining legal and technological perspectives to propose an integrated framework for managing the security risks of blockchain-based elections, offering a practical model for countries transitioning to secure digital voting systems.
