A Secure Digital E-Voting Using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Abstract In digital electronic voting security is always the biggest anxiety. In existing system, the EVM system used, when compare to the conventional paper ballot system EVM reduces the time for casting vote and result announcement, but still having many issues there is the risk that the election authorities can able to change or remove the vote therefore chances for violating its secrecy. The entire system may rigged by any third party. Blockchain technology provide secure electronic voting platform, which is a decentralized, peer-to-peer transaction ledger enables every vote that is casted will be consider as an individual transaction which creates transparent and secure environment for elections, where the users will be able to cast their votes only once and will be able to view the total votes casted in real time without having the permission to edit the same after election gets over. These votes will be counted and the results will then be announced. This work achieves by solving the issues of digital voting systems and a mechanism to boost the number of voters and their trust in the electoral process.
