Ballot Casting System using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

The blockchain-based voting system is emerging efficient technology as it reduces voting costs and increases voter turnout. This technology lets people to vote from anywhere with an Internet connection by eliminating the need to visit a physical polling center. The primary challenge faced by internet voting is its security. To overcome this challenge, the decentralized and distributed blockchain technology is preferred. It provides tamper-proof and visible voting records, ensuring that the votes are dependable, accurate, and secure. This study has developed a blockchain-based e-ballot application to provide a secure electronic voting system that offers the same degree of equality and privacy as existing voting services but with the added transparency and flexibility that electronic voting systems provide. The purpose of employing blockchain as a service, in conjunction with distributed ledger technologies to construct an electronic voting system is to address the drawbacks faced by existing voting system while also making it more cost efficient. To summarize, blockchain-based voting systems may be able to overcome some of the challenges that now hinder political decision-making.
