Abstract

The primary aim of this paper is to propose a feasible solution to the obstacles encountered in digital voting by leveraging blockchain technology. Presently, the voting systems such as Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and paper ballots are not without flaws. These issues range from limited transparency, low voter turnout, vote manipulation, and mistrust in the election commission. Thus, there is a pressing need for a secure and trustworthy digital voting system that can protect against potential cyber-attacks or hacking. Blockchain technology presents a plausible solution to these concerns by offering numerous benefits, including decentralization, security, transparency, immutability, and anonymity. Blockchain technology facilitates the transfer of digital assets through a decentralized network by utilizing a widely used ledger. Blocks make up the ledger, a crucial component of blockchain technology that records all transactions. Our article suggests an electronic voting mechanism based on smart contracts for the Ethereum network. These contracts are a recent innovation that can provide a more reliable, transparent, and secure e-voting system. Using wallets and the Solidity programming language, we have tested and implemented this system. We can ensure the security and dependability of the voting process by leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts for the electronic voting system. Any democratic system must retain this to remain legitimate
