The Electronic Voting System based on Blockchain is an innovative and secure solution designed to eliminate the possibility of tampering and ensure the integrity of the voting process. This system leverages the power of blockchain technology, providing a decentralized and transparent approach to recording and verifying votes, thereby enhancing the reliability and dependability of the voting system.

The system comprises two main entities: the Admin and the Voter (User). The Admin holds the authority to manage elections, candidates, and voters. They have the capability to view the list of candidates contesting, the list of voters, and the list of elections. Additionally, the Admin can verify the integrity of the votes by checking for signs of tampering within the blockchain.

On the other hand, Voters can log in to the system using their valid credentials and access various functionalities. They can view upcoming elections, the candidates contesting, and the results once the elections have concluded. The system also maintains a record of the elections the Voter has participated in, providing transparency and accountability.

The core strength of this Electronic Voting System lies in its integration with blockchain technology. Each vote cast by a Voter is recorded as a block within the blockchain, ensuring its immutability and protecting its identity. This innovative approach makes it nearly impossible to tamper with or manipulate the votes, as any attempt to alter the data would be immediately detected and flagged.

Project Application:

• Institutional Elections (Universities, Corporations, Associations)
• Community-based Voting

Advantages:

• User anonymity: Voters’ identities are protected, and their votes remain confidential.
• Tamper-proof: Blockchain technology ensures votes cannot be altered or manipulated.
• Transparency: Voters can verify the integrity of the voting process and results.
• Decentralized: No central authority controls the system, eliminating the risk of a single point of failure.
• Efficiency: Automated processes streamline the voting procedure, reducing manual effort and potential errors.

Disadvantages:

• Internet connectivity: Voting requires an internet connection, which may pose challenges in certain areas.
• Technical proficiency: Users may require basic technical knowledge to interact with the system effectively.
• Scalability: As the number of voters and elections increases, the system’s performance and storage requirements may need to be addressed.
• Adoption: Overcoming the inertia of traditional voting methods and encouraging user adoption can be challenging.
