Abstract: Many countries use online decision-making structures Electronic voting (also
known as electronic voting) refers to the use of electronic means to vote and to record and
accurately count the votes cast by users. Electronic voting systems must be secure, as they
must not allow duplicate votes while protecting the privacy of participants and must be fully
transparent. A disadvantage of traditional voting systems is that voting is not reliable and
voters do not change unless they are registered in the system. The system is comprised of
three primary components: a network that utilizes blockchain technology, a fingerprint
authentication system, and a web-based user interface. The blockchain network stores
voting data in an immutable and transparent manner, making it resistant to tampering and
fraud.
There is no transparency between voters and the system. Electronic voting can be very
useful as anyone can easily enter the poll and cast their vote and express their preference.
People can share a private link to a created poll (as long as they know the link) and the
person with the link can vote and only one vote can be used per browser. In this proposed
system, we design and develop a web-based application using Python and Flask framework
for an online audio system using face recognition and blockchain technology with a
decentralized data storage system.

I. INTRODUCTION
Voting is a way of making a collective decision or expressing an opinion among a group or assembly
or electorate. Polls usually follow debates, debates and election campaigns. In polling, the person
who is to be elected is the election candidate and the person who casts his vote for the elected
candidate is the voter. Generally, a voter can vote according to a list of candidates or vote for other
persons whom they prefer. Ballots must be unsigned by voters in private booths and marked in such
a way that no one else can know who the citizen is voting for. Since the 17th century, voting has been
a common mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated. Polling is also used
in many other private organizations and groups such as clubs, corporations and voluntary
associations.
With the rapid development of Internet and information technology, many traditional offline services
like voting, mail, payment are shifting to online services. Online voting is known as electronic voting
(e-voting). It is an electronic means of voting and counting. Users of electronic voting are voters and

election authorities. Voters can electronically submit their votes to election officials from any location
through electronic voting. Election officials are responsible for collecting votes from voters.
Electronic voting can save time and effort with high efficiency and flexibility, which is gaining more
and more attention as an alternative to traditional voting. With the growth of the Internet, electronic
voting has become an important tool for many organizations. The company Kiayias et al proposed an
efficient E2E verifiable e-voting system with no set-up assumptions. Proposed unauthorized, or
verified encryption and its
II. LITERATURE REVIEW

• Gupta A, Patel J, Gupta M, Gupta H, "Issues and Effectiveness of Blockchain Technology on Digital
Voting." The system presented in Blockchain Technology Issues and Effectiveness on Digital Voting
Blockchain is a technology that enables the movement of digital coins or assets from one person to
another. The blockchain concept can be understood with the concept of a linked list in a data structure,
because its next key address is stored in the previous key and they are connected to each other.
Methodology: It was first conceived in 2008 that was implemented in successive years as a core
component of the digital currency Bitcoin, which acts as a
public ledger of all transactions. Digital voting through blockchain technology has some issues and
effectiveness but our concern is to focus on how effective the system makes this technique. Here, our
main focus is how the system can apply this technology in our daily life. Our country India is keenly
interested in future use and many efforts are being made to overcome the security issues as soon as
possible.

Technology
and Aadhaar Verification.” An electronic voting machine based on blockchain technology and
Aadhaar verification introduces a system that a nation with a low voter percentage will struggle to
develop as it is necessary to elect the right leader for the nation. Very necessary. Our proposed system
is designed to provide secure data and reliable elections to the people of democracy. As Aadhaar card
is most essential for identification of an individual, it is highly recommended to organize the election
process using it. Blockchain will be publicly verifiable and distributed in such a way that no one can
corrupt it. Methodology: The proposed system is mainly based on Aadhaar verification for our country
where the details of persons above 18 years of age are extracted from Aadhaar card database as it has
become mandatory in present scenario. To ensure greater security, the voter's fingerprint is used as the
primary authentication source. The system will allow the voter to vote through his finger print. As
soon as they cast their vote, blockchain technology comes into existence which is integrated inside the
EVM. Blockchain adoption in database distribution can reduce one fraudulent source of database
manipulation. This research discusses the recording of voting results from each polling station in a
blockchain algorithm.

3.2 Description of the Proposed Algorithm

A. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
CNN is one of the main categories for performing image recognition, image classification. Object detection, face
recognition, emotion recognition, etc., are some of the areas where CNNs are widely used. CNN image
classification takes an input image, processes it and classifies it under some category (happy, sad, angry, fear,
neutral, disgust). A CNN is a neural network with one or more convolutional layers.
Step 1: A dataset containing images with reference emotions is fed into the system. The dataset is called Face
Emotion Recognition (FER) which is an open-source dataset that was made publicly available on Kagle.
Step 2: Now Import The Required Libraries And Build The Model
Step 3: The convolutional neural network is used which extracts image features f pixel
by pixel.
Step 4: Matrix factorization is performed on the extracted pixels. The matrix is of m x n
.
Step 5: Max pooling is performed on this matrix where maximum value is selected and again fixed
into matrix.
Step 6: Normalization is performed where the every negative value is converted to zero.
Step 7: To convert values to zero rectifified linear units are used where each value is ffiltered and negative
value is set to zero.
Step 8: The hidden layers take the input values from the visible layers and assign the weights after
calculating maximum probability.

a practical point of view in both development/deployment and usage contexts. Accomplishing this task is a
potential roadmap for blockchain technology to be able to support complex applications. Creating an
electronic voting system that meets the legislative requirements of legislators has long been a challenge.
Distributed ledger technology is an exciting technological advancement in the information technology
world. Blockchain technologies offer an endless array of applications that benefit from sharing economies.
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the application of blockchain as a service to implement a
distributed electronic voting system.

 ACTIVITY DIAGRAM
 CONCLUSION
Due to the complexity of this domain and the need for more robust and effective information technology
systems, there are many research directions for applying blockchain technology to the polling industry. An
interoperable architecture will undoubtedly play a significant role in many polling use cases that face similar
data sharing and communication challenges. From a more technical perspective, more research is needed to
determine the most practical design process for creating an interoperable ecosystem using blockchain
technology while balancing critical security and privacy concerns in healthcare. Whether building
decentralized applications that leverage existing blockchains, additional research on secure and efficient
software practices for applying blockchain technology to voting is also needed to educate software engineers
and domain experts on the potential and limitations of this new technology. Similarly, validation and testing
approaches are also important to measure the effectiveness of blockchain-based voting architectures compared
to existing systems (e.g., through performance metrics related to time and computational cost or through
assessment metrics related to feasibility). In some cases, a new blockchain network may be more suitable than
an existing blockchain; Therefore, another direction could be to investigate the extension of existing
blockchains or create voting blockchains that only provide health-related services.
