IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ETHEREUM ALGORITHM TO MONITOR THE E-VOTING SYSTEM AND DATA STORAGE USING BLOCKCHAIN

Abstract: Electronic voting systems have gained significant attention due to their potential to streamline the voting process, increase accessibility, and reduce fraud. However, ensuring the integrity, security, and transparency of the voting process remains a critical challenge. Blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution to address these concerns by providing a decentralized, immutable, and transparent ledger system.This abstract presents an e-voting system that leverages blockchain technology to enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of the voting process. The proposed system utilizes a permissioned blockchain, ensuring that only authorized participants can participate in the consensus and validation process.Each eligible voter is assigned a unique cryptographic identity and can securely cast their vote through a user-friendly interface. The vote is recorded as a transaction on the blockchain, which includes a digital signature and timestamp to ensure its authenticity and immutability. The votes are anonymized to preserve voter privacy while maintaining the ability to verify the integrity of the overall election process.  Keywords: electronic voting, e-voting, blockchain, e-government, verifiable voting
