In this paper we propose a tool (reference data model) for the improvement of trust, based on blokchain technologies, between the different actors of an electoral process. Our contribution focuses in a first step on the implementation of a data model having all these public attributes and thus public classes whose methods are coupled to cryptographic techniques. In a second step, we propose an underlying formalism of this model using a matrix representation of the different actors, the different transactions and the working criteria allowing to validate these transactions and blockchains. This formalism allows to find a transaction performed by one of the actors of the electoral chain and also the data block in which this transaction is validated. Also, an algorithm allowing to reinforce the trust is proposed.
