Abstract: In recent years voter apathy has been increasing, especially among the younger computer/tech generation. For a robust e-voting scheme, a number of functional and security requirements are specified including transparency, accuracy, auditability, system and data integrity, secrecy/privacy, availability and distribution of authority. The idea in blockchain-enabled e-voting is to use a digital-currency analogy; BEV issues each voter a “wallet” containing a user credential. Candidates need to register themselves for the election process before the deadline. After the deadline, smart contract which is a set of rules that governs the interaction of users on the blockchain will be deployed containing the candidate list. Private keys will be sent to the voters a week prior to the Election Day through the registered mail. A confirmation sms will also be sent about the mail. Voter should not disclose the private key to anyone. On the day of election, the voter needs to login to system using their private keys through metamask which is a front end application for connecting to the Ethereum blockchain. After successful login, a voting page will be displayed containing the list of candidates standing in the election. The voter can cast the vote by selecting the desired candidate from the list and clicking the vote button.
