 ABSTRACT
Voting system has been around for hundreds of years and despite different views on the integrity,
have always been deemed secure with some fundamental security and anonymity principles.
Numerous electronic system has been proposed and implemented but some suspicions has been
raised regarding the integrity of electronic due to detected security vulnerabilities within the
system. Electronic voting,to be successful,requires a more transparent and secure approach ,than is
offered by current protocols. The approach presented in this paper involves a protocols develop on
blockchain technology .The underlying technology used in the voting system is a payment
scheme, which offers anonymity of transactions, a trait not seen in blockchain protocals to date.
The proposed protocols offers anonymity of voter transactions,while keeping the transactions
private,and election transparent and secure. The underlying payment protocol has not been
modified in any way, the voting protocol merely offers an alternative use case.

Background of the study
An electronic voting system is a voting system in which the election data is recorded, stored, and
processed using electronic devices such as computers and tablets. These systems are designed to
improve the accuracy, efficiency, and security of the voting process. Some advantages of
electronic voting systems includes,
Speed: Electronic voting systems can process votes faster than traditional systems, which reduces
the amount of time it takes to tally the results.
Accuracy: Electronic voting systems can reduce the risk of errors and fraud by providing a secure
and transparent way to record and count votes.
Convenience: Electronic voting systems can allow voters to cast their ballots from any location,
which can increase voter turnout.
Accessibility: Electronic voting systems can be designed to be accessible to voters with
disabilities, such as those who are blind or have low vision.
Despite these benefits, there are also some potential drawbacks to electronic voting systems. For
example;
Security concerns: Electronic voting systems can be vulnerable to hacking and other forms of
cyber attacks, which could compromise the integrity of the voting process.
Cost: Implementing an electronic voting system can be expensive, particularly if it involves
purchasing new hardware and software.
Dependence on technology: If the electronic voting system experiences technical issues, it could
disrupt the voting process and undermine confidence in the election.
Overall, electronic voting systems have the potential to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and
accessibility of the voting process. However, it is important for these systems to be designed and
implemented in a way that addresses security concerns and other potential challenges.

1.1 Statement of problem

The research of use of Electronic voting machine in Dhangadhi helps to know the various merits
and demerits of using electronic voting machine. One of the major reason that the country fails is
the lack of understanding to in how to use technology .The study will focus on the following
4
research questions.
1. Is Electronic voting machine is effective in Dhangadhi?
2. How electronic voting machine helps to citizen and government?

1.2 Objectives of the study:

The major purpose of the research is;
 To analyze the citizens and government perception towards the use of electronic voting
machine.
 To study electronic voting machine effectiveness during elections.

1.3 Limitation of study

The limitation of the study are:
 Only 200 people comment are considers which is very small percentage of large
population.
 Only one city took part in this survey which may not be enough to represent the view of
entire city or country

Research methodology
A research methodology can be defined as the specific techniques in research process
which is done to collect, assemble and evaluate data. It deals with tools that are used to
gather relevant in formation in a specific research study.
Surely questionnaires and interview will be used as the tool of research.
