Decentralized E-Voting : Using Ethereum Blockchain

Abstract

The decentralized digital ledger known as blockchain technology presents a viable remedy for the security flaws in conventional voting procedures. Blockchain can be utilized to develop a more dependable and trustworthy electronic voting system by utilizing its immutability, transparency, and security properties. This work investigates the use of Ethereum and Solidity to construct a blockchain-based electronic voting application. Smart contracts are used by the system to guarantee vote integrity and avoid duplicate voting. Each voter is given a finite number of tokens, or gas, by the system, which effectively prevents vote-rigging. This paper addresses the ramifications of a blockchain-based web-based voting application for democratic elections going forward and offers a concrete example of it. The findings demonstrated a user-friendly interface that linked individual voter accounts using cryptographic hashes and displayed election results. The system maintained confidentiality and transparency while efficiently collecting votes in real time.
