Blockchain Based Voting Decentralized Application

Abstract

Elections are an important way of conveying one's choice in a democratic system. Many new technologies have been introduced to carry out the process of elections over the years. Even after so many developments in the voting system, there are still many issues faced regarding the results of voting. The voting approaches available are vulnerable to malfunctions and the results of voting are not reliable. This paper compares the different methods of voting while discussing their advantages and drawbacks. Blockchain based polling is a decentralized voting system which offers transparency and protection from any malpractice. The voting results obtained from this process are reliable. An Ethereum platform based decentralized application (DApp) along with a smart contract in solidity is proposed in this work to execute the process of voting through blockchain based technology.
