Blockchain Based Transparent E-Voting System

Information Technology

The voting or election process is one of the most important and crucial realizations that have been utilized increasingly all over the world in democratic countries. There are very few countries that are based on dictatorship and monarchies nowadays and most of these countries also perform elections in one way or another. There are also elections that are performed in the corporate environment and in municipalities of cities and other jurisdictions. This is the reason why most of the effective and useful mechanisms for the realization of the public opinion are based on the practice of voting. Voting ensures that the voice of the people is heard and they also have a say in the various implementations that affect them. But the process of voting has been unchanged since millennia, there have been numerous advancements in various fields and the technology has been improving every year. The most common issue with modernizing the voting mechanism is the lack of security for the post voting data. Therefore, to solve this drawback, this research outlines an effective and useful mechanism for the securing of the post voting data using the distributed ledger system called blockchain. The standalone application for voting has been designed that maintains the integrity of the data through blockchain which has also been quantified using experimentation the results of blockchain performance.
