Integrity Assured Digital Voting System by using Blockchain as the Technology

Abstract

In order to reduce limitations and as a practical substitute for voting on paper, electronic voting has developed gradually as a feasible alternative. The last decade's worth of related studies implies that, building a secure e-voting system using web 2.0 technology that assures the integrity of the votes while also giving transparency has been a long-standing difficulty. In a network of centralized systems, a single party has the right to administer data sources. Since the centralized voting systems are more vulnerable to data manipulation issues, the trust has faded in the voters on behalf of the entire process. In this paper authors discuss the solution with blockchain which is secured. The proposed implementation is ideal for small or medium-scale elections, and this includes several basic components of our methodology in three fictitious modules: the administrative module, the Voters module, and the Blockchain module. Node JS, Ganache, and Web3 JS are used as the main technologies. In conclusion, it is expected to implement a secure system for conducting web-based digital voting that ensures the integrity of the votes registered. Furthermore, it intends to enhance the system in the future to accommodate large-scale elections with a viable solution to the blockchain trilemma issues.
