Online Voting System using Blockchain

Abstract

The crucial right to cast a vote or essentially casting a vote on a ballot forms the basis of democracy. From ballot boxes, to punch cards the voting systems are periodically transformed into EVMs for conducting elections. But, the existing e-voting systems are vulnerable to hacking, have limitations and risk of computer technologies, and needs physical security of machines as well. So, the main focus of the proposed system is to overcome these issues and introduce secure, user-friendly Online Voting. The proposed model enhances the level of security by making use of blockchain in which it is not possible to manipulate votes. Blockchain is used for storing votes and it gives sufficient security which minimize the chances of dummy votes. Cryptography and Face ID are also adopted for verification purposes. The presented online portal is highly secure and also has other unique security features such as primary id generation that puts another layer of security and enables the admin the ability to check the user information and to decide whether he is qualified to vote or not.
