E-Voting System using Blockchain Technology

Electronic voting or E-Voting has been used in varying forms since the 1970s, with fundamental benefits over paper-based systems, such as having increased efficiency and reduced errors. However, there remain challenges to overcome regarding the wide spread adoption of such systems, especially with respect to improving their resilience against potential faults. Building a secure electronic voting system that offers the fairness and privacy of current voting schemes, while providing the transparency and flexibility offered by electronic systems has been a challenge for a long time. This application is a novel electronic voting system based on blockchain that addresses some of the limitations in existing systems and evaluates some of the popular blockchain frameworks for the purpose of constructing a Blockchain based E-Voting system. This system has an easily accessible UI, where the user information is captured, the candidate details are encrypted, and stored in a blockchain. The main purpose t is to increase the voting percentage so that the voter is not required to visit the voting center to cast their vote and also to avoid fake voting.
