An approach to secure E-Voting using Ethereum’s Blockchain and Biometric.

Computer Engineering

Now a day’s technology has positive impacts on many aspects in our social life. Internet has been a fertile ground for research, innovation and creativity. Recently one of the emerging filed in innovation is blockchain. Blockchain technology offers a vast range of applications benefiting from sharing economies. Among one of them is an application of e-voting. The objective of such a system is to provide a decentralized architecture to run and support a voting scheme that is open, fair, and independently supportable. In this paper, we propose a possible new e-voting system that utilizes the blockchain as a transparent ballot box. The system has been designed to adhere to fundamental e-voting properties as well as offer a degree of decentralization and within the permitted voting period the voter is allowed to change/update their vote. Voting is a fundamental part of democratic systems in the world; it gives individuals in a society the power to vote their opinion. Here we can implemented and tested a sample e-voting application as a smart contract for the Ethereum network using the Ethereum wallets and the Solidity language. Android platform is also considered to allow voting for people who do not have an Ethereum wallet.
