Electronic Voting based on Virtual ID of Aadhar using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

The e-voting system is one of the frameworks which decreases the percentage of abstention and to ensure the security against tampering of the votes, Blockchain is a distributed and decentralized ledger that is used to record the transactions in an efficient and verifiable manner. Blockchain plays an important role in the e-voting system which ensures the security of votes by preventing modification of data stored in blocks using the cryptographic technique. Aadhar integration to the e-voting system overcomes the duplication or tampering of votes. The proposed scheme provides the secured e-voting system by using biometric details and VID(Virtual ID) of voters obtained from the Aadhar database to cast the Vote and also using the digital signature as the key for the encryption of the votes inside the block.
