BLOCKVOTE-A BLOCK CHAIN BASED VOTING SYSTEM

Blockchain

Voting is pivotal to choosing a government in a democracy and should be open, free and accessible to all. Many countries use ballots or EVMs for the election process but these are not completely tamper proof and are prone to faults and wrong doings, however online voting systems are relatively safe and they are not completely tamper proof and can be hackable. Block chain finds its application in such cases because block chain is decentralized system and the blocks of data are related and connected, any change in this connection can be detected and corrected and the bank of votes can be kept safe and the accurate result can be declared. In this project, the concept of developing an electronic voting system using blockchain technology is implemented. The two-level architecture provides a secure voting process without redundancy of existing (not based on blockchain) systems. The blockchain-based voting project has two modules to make the whole project integrated and work along. One will be the Election Commission who will be responsible for creating elections, adding registered parties and candidates contesting for the election added under the smart contracts. The other end will be the voter's module where each individual can cast a vote for their respective Assembly Constituency and the vote will be registered on the blockchain to make it tamper proof.
