It's time to upgrade voting system using blockchain technology. Earlier people were able to trust each other upon a handshake but today it's extremely difficult to trust the digital world. It requires to authenticate identity and proving permission. With blockchain technology these two requirements are fulfilled. Blockchain is not an application nor a company. It is a solution for corruption. Democratic voting is critical and serious event in our country. By making use of blockchain which is a secure and robust system for digital voting can be devised. Traditional voting system uses centralized system, and there is one organization that manages it. It is possible to alter the database but by adopting blockchain technology which is a decentralized system we can prevent tampering and manipulation. Our proposed system achieves end-to-end verifiability using consensus algorithm. We present our efforts to explore use of blockchain technology to seek solutions to problems in traditional voting system. Blockchain technology has positive impacts on our social life. This system will help increase the number of voters as well as the trust of people in their government.

In today’s digital environment, the voting system has moved from paper based to a digital system. A digital e-voting system has many properties such as transparency, decentralization, irreversibility, and non-repudiation. The growth in the digital e-voting system raises many security and transparency issues. In this paper, we used the blockchain technology in the digital electronic voting system to solve the security issues and ful?ll the system requirements. It offers new opportunities to deploy a secure e-voting system in any organization or country. The solution is far better as compared to other solutions because it is a decentralized system, containing the results in the form of bit-coins, having different locations. We will also analyze the security of our proposed voting system, which shows our protocol is more secure as compared to other solutions. The paper proposes a novel electronic voting system based on block chain that addresses some of the limitations in existing systems and evaluates some of the popular blockchain frameworks for the purpose of constructing a blockchain based e-voting system. In particular, we evaluate the potential of distributed ledger technologies through the description of a case study namely, the process of an election, and the implementation of a blockchain based application, which improves the security and decreases the cost of hosting a nation wide election.

Nowadays, normal voting using EVM(Electronic voting machine) which stores the votes of each voter in a centralized database. And after researching many different e-voting applications, most of the application used centralized data storage as the database. As, these centralized databases stores the complete data at a single location and is easy hackable and can be tampered with. Hence, due to this the data can be inconsistent while voting count and will not provide us with the correct result.Hence, using blockchain technology, we create a decentralized application where the tampering of data becomes almost impossible as Blockchain uses the decentralized algorithm for the data storage where the data is stored at a single location. The main objective of E-voting system using blockchain is to create a e-voting system underneath using a blockchain technology. This system is just like a normal voting system, of which same process is conducted on e-voting which used to be conducted on the normal paper-based voting with the use of mobile, web browser for the voting purpose by the voters. Therefore, this paper will give a review of blockchain technology and how this technology will be used in E-voting system.

The voting system is the medium of selecting the appropriate person for any type of election. In the traditional voting system, ballot paper was used to collect the vote from the voters. The voters have to go to the Centre to give their votes and many people are required to work as voting agents in the Centre to organize and manage the election. So, the traditional voting system required many types of costs to organize an election. Many other problems were raised in the traditional voting system like hijacking the voting machine, giving the vote of another person, manipulating voting data, etc. Many of these problems are solved by using EVM (Electronic Voting Machine). But the voters have to go to the voting center to provide their votes but the old-aged voters or the voters who are unable to walk are not able to provide their voted in this system. This problem can be solved by implementing a secure electronic or online based voting system. The Blockchain is a very popular technology now for storing data securely. The simple model of implementing a secure online based voting system by using blockchain technology has been shown in this paper which will be able to provide many facilities for all types of voters making the voting system more secure and faster.

It has long been difficult to create a safe electronic voting system that provides the transparency and flexibility provided by electronic systems, while maintaining the fairness and privacy of present voting methods. Voting, especially during elections, is a technique where participants do not trust one another since the system might be attacked not just by an outsider but also by participants themselves (voters and organizers). The traditional methods of voting systems find it challenging to maintain the characteristics of an ideal voting system since there is a chance of tampering with results and disturbing the process itself. As a result, the effectiveness of the voting system is increased by translating the characteristics of an ideal voting system into digital space. It greatly lowers the expense of the elections and the work of the inspectors. In this essay, we'll use the open-source Blockchain technology to suggest a new electronic voting system's architecture. New chances to create new kinds of digital services are being provided by Blockchain. Numerous elements of our life have been altered by Blockchain technology, including the ability to save digital transactions via the Internet, confirm their legitimacy, license them, and provide the greatest level of security and encryption. This system offers a distributed architecture for storing the data, which distributes the data among many servers. In addition to maintaining voter identity outside of the vote count, this technology makes the voting process transparent.

The aspect of electoral fraud and lack of transparency in the conventional voting system employed in India is a major problem that requires attention. The objective is to implement a secure e-voting system based on blockchain technology that counteracts the above-mentioned issues. The aim is to fight electoral malpractices by developing a system which will keep data secure in digital voting and prevent tampering of data while introducing a level of transparency in the system. One might argue that online voting is susceptible to database manipulation, however the adoption of blockchain technology solves this by its inherent property of decentralization wherein data is not stored in a central database, rather distributed over a vast network of peered systems. Electoral fraud in the form of voter impersonation and voting multiple times can be solved by the use of biometric voter authentication which has been implemented in the prototype of an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM). This paper discusses the design and implementation of the system proposed.
