Most of the countries throughout the world is democratic where voting plays crucial role. Government is formed by people via election. People choose their representatives through the election process. Election should be of a trustworthy process and voting system should be secure, tamper-free, and fraud resistant. It is very difficult to build such a system in large democratic country like India which has population about billion. In this paper, new way of electronic voting using blockchain technology i.e., a system that utilize a decentralized and distributed ledger is suggested. Blockchain technology can make the voting system a simple, secure, and reliable. Moreover, it can save time and money and deal with large amounts of data in real time. The main feature of blockchain technology is that a secure hash algorithm is used to safeguard each block of vote.
