Abstract
The use of information technology is revolutionizing governmental services and democracy. Electronic voting, or Online voting, is a symbol of modern democracy, but it’s best when complied with existing legal and regulatory frameworks. Selecting leaders from a list is the process of voting, and in India, there are problems with improper voting during elections, untrained workers, unsafe polling places, and insufficient voting supplies. Blockchain technology provides a decentralized, unchangeable ledger for safely recording votes, offering a viable foundation to overcome these issues. In this work, we present a new online voting system that uses blockchain technology to guarantee voting process security, integrity, and transparency. To ensure accurate and anonymous voting, our system uses smart contracts for voter registration, ballot casting, and vote counting. Because they provide safe, open, and easily available voting options, online voting systems have the potential to completely transform democratic processes. Widespread acceptance has been hampered, nevertheless, by issues with security, transparency, and verifiability. Blockchain technology, which is renowned for being decentralized and unchangeable, offers a workable foundation to address these problems. An Indigenous internet-based voting system aims to address these issues, but it requires citizens to be trained on how to exercise their right to vote online. The new solution has a small learning curve, but it will require citizens to be trained in how to use the system.
