Blockchain based E-Voting System on Smartphones

India, the world’s largest democracy, faces significant challenges in conducting free and fair elections due to the prevalence of vote tampering, booth capturing, and rigging. To address and solve these challenges, a blockchain-based e-voting system will be developed that is secure, transparent, and accessible to all eligible voters in India. The decentralized nature of blockchain, combined with the transparency and security of smart contracts written in Solidity, will ensure that the voting process is tamper-proof and transparent. The system will be developed and tested on Ethereum testnet, and the complexity of existing systems will be simplified into a simple smartphone application that can be accessed by all eligible voters in India. The system will remove dependency on crypto wallets like Meta-mask, the backend api’s are developed using node.js, express.js and web3.js. SHA-3 will be used for hashing and encryption purposes. The frontend will be developed using React Native, ensuring a user-friendly and accessible interface. The successful implementation of this blockchain-based e-voting system could revolutionize the democratic process in India, making it more accessible, secure, and transparent, and setting an example for other countries to follow.
