Having a democratic voting system in place is crucial for any nation due to the general distrust of the conventional voting system. The advent of digital technologies has revolutionized various sectors, including the electoral process. An online voting system offers a secure, efficient, and accessible alternative to traditional paper-based voting, enabling eligible voters to cast their votes remotely through digital platforms. This system is designed to improve voter turnout by eliminating geographic barriers and reducing logistical complexities associated with in-person voting. Key components of an online voting system include user authentication, data encryption, and secure transmission to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the votes. Despite the promising advantages, the implementation of such systems faces challenges related to cybersecurity risks, potential voter fraud, and technological limitations, particularly in regions with low internet penetration or outdated infrastructure. This paper explores the concept of online voting, its potential benefits, challenges, and considerations for successful implementation, as well as its impact on future democratic processes. The integration of advanced cryptographic techniques and robust verification protocols is essential for building trust and ensuring the legitimacy of online voting systems in the modern electoral landscape.
