The aim of this project is to build a blockchain based decentralized voting system which is more transparent, accurate, flexible, and secured than the current traditional voting system. The current centralized voting system lacks security and transparency. The current voting system are also prone to various attacks such as DDoS attacks, vote alteration, malware attacks etc. Also, EVM machines used in India have been very questionable in recent times by the opposition parties. Hence using blockchain we can create a voting system which will provide transparency and security. Blockchain based system have a peer-to-peer network for a private blockchain. Each peer has its own private and public keys to ensure strong encryption. Each vote is stored as a transaction in the chain. Hence vote can be back tracked, and voter can used it to ensure whether his vote is counted securely or not. Smart contracts are used further to make the system more efficient. Smart contracts are simple programs in blockchain which run when predetermined conditions are fulfilled. Thus, a blockchain based system will help in reducing the security breaches, human resource, paperwork involved, time, cost of expenditure on elections etc.
