• Digital Voting with the use of Blockchain Technology proposed an integration of

the blockchain technology to the current voting system in the UK in which the
voters can vote at a voting district or on a web browser at home.[3]
• A Smart Contract For Boardroom Voting with Maximum Voter Privacy,
proposed the first implementation of a decentralized and self-tallying internet
voting protocol with maximum voter privacy using the Blockchain, called The
Open Vote Network (OVN). The OVN is written as a smart contract on the public
Ethereum blockchain[2]
• Once the user votes, this transaction containing the user’s vote is removed from
the voter blockchain. As a result, following the authorization step of verifying the
user’s right to vote, another transaction is created in the same voter blockchain,
which is the transaction containing the user’s vote token, indicating the
availability of the user’s vote. The public key of a constituency node will then be
distributed to the polling station nodes connected to that particular constituency
node, which use the public key to encrypt any vote made at those polling stations.

Proposed Methodology
• We are using the Agile methodology as it has Extreme Programming. It is
a framework that enables teams to create high-quality software that helps
improve their quality of life.
• There are many tools and techniques in today's world that can help us
maximize the value of the output produced. Among the many options
available, Agile is one of the most commonly used.
• This is because of its ability to enable teams to work in small increments
and respond to changes quickly.
• As our project is having a wide range of groups and numerous number of
users it is going to be difficult to the improve it once the web-app is ready
for the Agile methodology is having the upper hand and is very efficient to
over come such problems.
• Also we can improve or update our project at any point of time.

Future Scope
• The following improvements can be made to the system
• Adding Aadhar number verification system.
• Linking application with Government voting systemdata.
• Making the system more secure
• Enhnacing the Graphical User Interface(GUI) of the ap-plication.
• Local languages can be included which will play a vitalrole for people
living in rural areas as well as uneducatedpeople.
• A Candidate’s earlier social work and candidate qualifi-cation’s can
be added for a voter to have better choice.
• Also, adding suggestion system for voters that enablesthe public to
give suggestions to the current winner.

Prons & Cons
•PROS:
•Transparency in the voting process
•No vote tampering or manipulation
•Faster and accurate results
•Online voting will encourage more people to participate in the democratic
process

•CONS:
•In addition to it being bad for the political parties and politicians, the
biggest challenge would be to get the solution to every single citizen,
eligible to vote. Especially in countries where internet connectivity, mobile
penetration and awareness in general is low.

Conclusion
• In this paper, we discussed and analyzed the process of traditional
voting, electronic voting, and blockchain-based E-Voting Systems using a
case study of country elections.
• Later we compared blockchain-based voting systems with conventional
voting systems based on main phases of voting.
• On the strength of blockchain technology pillars, we can conclude that
blockchain is a more reliable, accurate, secure, and unhackable
technology for casting a vote.
• As it is fulfilling all the requirements of voting, we can deduce that
blockchain technology can be used in clubs, organizations, societies, or
any voting systems. In the future, our focus is on the development of
sophisticated algorithm for e-vote based on blockchain and its related
tools.
