Abstract

In this work, an online E-voting system has been proposed that provides security, transparency, non-repudiation, etc. as the current voting systems which use Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) have many limitations. These limitations are owing to the fact that EVMs are susceptible to tampering. This may cause a crucial impact on the judgement on any voting system and hence the entire system can be manipulated. Owing to widespread employment of voting system, it becomes necessary to provide a transparent and tamperproof voting system. For the same, a blockchain based system has been proposed that can be implemented for reality shows. This block chain based decentralized system is capable of breaking through the conventional centralized system and thus has a huge scope for widespread deployment. The proposed system uses a decentralized ledger for storing information which is maintained by the people in the network opposite to the centralized authority. The authors have utilized Ethereum as the foundational technology for constructing and operating the proposed system. Based on the implementation of the proposed system, it is evident that the proposed system can be widely used in real life nullifying the chances of manipulations in voting.
