Blockchain Based E-Voting System for India Using UIDAI's Aadhaar

Abstract

With the current rise in the demand and usage of the blockchain technology for a variety of purposes, ranging from finance, medical, identification amongst others, major focus has been dedicated towards its legal implications rather than leveraging on the practical applications in administration. In this paper, we discuss the concepts of blockchain and how it can be implemented as an efficient solution towards public voting while aiming to destroy the disadvantages of the current voting system in India, at the same time providing a better, more reliable, secure and transparent means of public governance. We also aim to provide an exemplified voting solution for India with the integration of the current Aadhaar identification system as implemented by UIDAI.
