1. INTRODUCTION:
● A decentralized voting application which runs on the
concept of blockchain.
● Blockchain is a digital ledger of transactions, wherever a
distributed blockchain is tampered in one of the peers it
changes the hash value.
● This concept is ideal in terms of voting as the votes
cannot be tampered once the vote has been given.
● The voting result can also be obtained immediately after
the end of an election. 4
● A web balloting application providing a safe and
convenient platform for users/citizens to cast their votes.

5
2. PROBLEM STATEMENTS:

● Travelling long distance to vote and challenges due to our

country’s geography.
● Low number of voting booths and voting centres.
● Requirement of plentiful resources.
● Human errors.
● Chaos near voting booths creating an unsafe environment.

6
3. OBJECTIVE:

● To develop a secure, user-friendly election organizing web

applications with blockchain integration.

7
4. SCOPE AND APPLICATIONS:
● To provide a platform for people/groups of people to host
the election, from local level to national level.
● To create an easily accessible voting platform.
● To make an user interface that will be friendly to even non-
tech people.
● To reduce the cost of printing ballot papers,setting up
booths, hiring experts etc.
● To tally and publish result in a very short period of time.

5. EXISTING SIMILAR WEBSITES:

5.1 Voatz:
Voatz is a private mobile internet voting application which uses blockchain
technology. It is used to make voting more accessible and secure, and most
importantly to make voting more transparent, auditable and accountable.

9
5.2 Follow My Vote:

Follow my vote is an open source end-to-end verifiable blockchain voting

software for use in government-sponsored elections worldwide. It helps
organizations manage voter identity and provides a secure and transparent
voting system.

10
5.3 Agora:

Agora provides a secure and transparent digital voting which uses the unique
attributes of blockchain technology to design the next generation of voting
systems for government and organizations. It aims to increase trust in the voting
process by providing a decentralized platform for recording and counting votes.

11
6. LIMITATIONS OF EXISTING SYSTEMS

● As global applications, requires navigation with different

legal frameworks and electoral rules.
● Security becomes vulnerable while addressing specific
country level security concerns.
● Lack of Trust and Acceptance.

12
7. SOLUTIONS PROPOSED BY OUR SYSTEM

● Tailored for the specific use of local elections held in

Nepal.
● Emphasis on Security.
● Reduced Vulnerability.
● Interactive user interface.

8. Some Related Terminologies
8.1 Smart contract:
Smart contracts are programs that execute on a blockchain network when
predetermined conditions are met. They automatically execute the terms of a contract
without the involvement of third parties.

8.2 Ethereum
Ethereum is an open-source blockchain network that utilizes smart contract
technology. It's the second-largest cryptocurrency platform by market capitalization,
after Bitcoin.

8.3 Wallet
A blockchain wallet is a digital tool that stores private and public keys, enabling
users to manage their cryptocurrency holdings and interact with the blockchain
14
network.
9. METHODOLOGY: THE WATERFALL MODEL

Figure: The Waterfall Model 15

10. WHY WATERFALL MODEL?

● The model is simple and very easy to use.

● Its sequential and structured approach adds clarity during the
development process.
● Makes documentation easier as it is a plan driven model and all
processes must be planned before starting to work on them.
● It provides a predictable and controlled approach to software
development.

16. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

● Daps Bid introduces a contemporary method for conducting

elections digitally.
● Leveraging blockchain technology ensures secure and immutable
voting records, fostering trust and minimizing fraud concerns.
● The platform accommodates organizers and voters, with organizers
managing election setup and voters securely casting their votes.
● DapsBid offers an intuitive interface, enabling voters to easily
select candidates and participate in the voting process, setting a
new standard for digital voting systems.
25
17. CONCLUSION

In summary, Daps Bid introduces a blockchain-based online voting

system, guaranteeing secure and private elections. Leveraging Solidity for
smart contracts, MetaMask for transactions, React.js for frontend, and
Node.js for backend, it offers a user-friendly platform.

26
18. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

● Implementation of voter identification.

● Incentivization of the web application.
● Enhancement of the project's scalability.
