Abstract The integrity and efficiency of voter registration systems are critical to ensuring transparent and credible electoral processes. Traditional voter registration systems in many developing urban centers face persistent challenges such as data inaccuracies, security vulnerabilities, administrative inefficiencies, and high operational costs. With the growing adoption of digital technologies, blockchain has emerged as a promising solution due to its decentralized, transparent, and tamper-resistant features. This study evaluated the potential implementation of a hybrid blockchain-based voter registration system in Cebu City, Philippines, focusing on its perceived effectiveness compared with the existing system. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design using a quantitative approach. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire utilizing a 5-point Likert scale to assess respondents’ perceptions across multiple domains, including efficiency of registration operations, cybersecurity and data protection, accuracy of voter information, transparency and verifiability, administrative procedures, data storage and maintenance, and cost-efficiency. Independent samples t-tests were conducted to determine significant differences between the existing voter registration system and the proposed hybrid blockchain-based system. Findings revealed that the proposed hybrid blockchain-based system was perceived as significantly more effective than the existing system across all evaluated domains (p < 0.001). Higher mean scores were observed for efficiency, cybersecurity, data accuracy, transparency, administrative management, system maintenance, and cost-efficiency. However, respondents also identified key barriers to adoption, including limitations in technical infrastructure, high implementation costs, lack of skilled personnel, insufficient training programs, and resistance to change. The results indicate that while the hybrid blockchain-based voter registration system holds strong potential to enhance electoral integrity, security, and efficiency, successful implementation requires more than technological innovation alone. Addressing infrastructure readiness, capacity-building, stakeholder engagement, and policy alignment is essential to ensure sustainable adoption. The study supports the feasibility of integrating blockchain technology into voter registration systems, provided that technical and human resource challenges are systematically addressed.
