A Decentralized and Immutable E-Voting System using Blockchain

Elections are an important event that is responsible for shaping democracies around the world, but still there are many populations around the world who do not fully trust the electoral system which has become one of the major concerns for democracies around the world. Even the world’s greatest democracies, such as India and Japan, have a flawed legal system. Vote rigging, EVM (Electronic Vote Machine) hacking, election tampering, booth capture squares, etc. are the main causes of the problems in the current voting method utilized in these countries. It has proven challenging to develop an electronic voting system that is both secure and safe and that offers a higher level of security, fairness, and privacy than current voting techniques while simultaneously offering the transparency and flexibility. Replacing the existing pen-andpaper (ballot-based voting) approach with a new election system offers the potential to reduce fraud and increase security while also increasing efficiency. Blockchain is a technology that promises to increase the overall robustness and security of various e-voting systems. The paper outlines a great attempt to develop a trustworthy and efficient voting system using blockchain’s properties, including its transparency and cryptographic foundations. The system offers end-to-end verifiability and satisfies the fundamental criteria for e-voting methods. The paper covers the electronic voting system and how it would work on the Multichain network.
