Online Voting System using Ethereum in Blockchain Technology

Abstract

<strong>Abstract:</strong> Modern digital technology has enhanced the lives of several people. Unlike to the election system, it makes heavy use of printed paper. Elections using the traditional method risk the security aspects and openness. The institution that oversees general elections continues to adopt a centralized approach. With an organization having complete control over the database and system, it is feasible to tamper with the database of significant opportunities. This is one of the issues that might arise in traditional election systems. Because it adopts a decentralized structure and the full database is held by multiple people, blockchain technology has been one of the solutions. The methodology outlined in this work examines the usefulness of hashing algorithms, the construction and sealing of blocks, the accumulation of data, and the declaration of results using an adaptable blockchain approach. Electronic voting or e-voting has fundamental benefits over paper-based systems such as increased efficiency and reduced errors. The electronic voting system tends to maximize user participation, by allowing them to vote from anywhere and from any device that has an internet connection. The blockchain is an emerging, decentralized, and distributed technology with strong cryptographic foundations that promises to improve different aspects of many industries. Expanding e-voting into blockchain technology could be the solution to alleviate the present concerns in e-voting. Here we propose a blockchain-based voting system that will limit the voting fraud and make the voting process simple, secure and efficient. <strong>Keywords:</strong> Blockchain, Online voting, Decentralization, Privacy, Security, Ethereum. <strong>Title:</strong> Online Voting System using Ethereum in Blockchain Technology <strong>Author:</strong> V Srinadh, Chetan Sai Pyla, Desaraju Sri Rama Ganesh, Borra Kiran Kumar, Bheemerasetty Divya Sai <strong>International Journal of Recent Research in Mathematics Computer Science and Information Technology</strong> <strong>ISSN 2350-1022</strong> <strong>Vol. 9, Issue 2, October 2022 - March 2023</strong> <strong>Page No: 1-10</strong> <strong>Paper Publications</strong> <strong>Website: www.paperpublications.org</strong> <strong>Published Date: 21-October-2022</strong> <strong>DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7233830</strong> <strong>Paper Download Link (Source)</strong> <strong>https://www.paperpublications.org/upload/book/Online%20Voting%20System%20using%20Ethereum-21102022-2.pdf</strong>
