Abstract

We all know that voting is the primary factor to change the country’s future. Earlier, EVM, i.e., Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) were used to conduct voting across various cities and villages. But there were many issues in this system such as missing names in voter lists, misplaced votes, fake votes and so on. To tackle this problem an electronic decentralized system can be integrated, so one of these decentralized technologies is Blockchain technology. Blockchain-based electronic voting systems are a promising area of research to address the issue with traditional voting methods. The electronic voting system must overcome these issues before it can be used on a large basis. It results in developing a highly secure and transparent E-voting system that can handle all edge cases. This paper presents the results of the basic Blockchain technology implemented to demonstrate the efficient use for the E- Voting. The implementation of this system presents that the user candidate and Administrator can communicate securely using implemented system. This shows the use of Blockchain in the Applications where security is prime importance.
