Blockchain Voting Model

Abstract: Voting has been a fundamental part of democracies around the world; it has been the voice to their opinions for individuals in a community. Indian constitution was founded upon the beliefs in individual rights. But in recent years, voter turnout has plummeted while the ever-increasing concerns regarding integrity, security, and accessibility of voting systems haven’t been addressed. E-Voting can solve this problem; however, it requires supervision by central authority. In this paper, the available open source Blockchain technology is used to propose a design for a new electronic voting system that could be used in future electronic elections. The Blockchain-based system will be secure, reliable, and anonymous, and will help increase the number of voters as well as the trust of people in their governments.
