Blockchain-based Online Voting System for Ensuring Secure and Transparent Election

The voting system is the medium of selecting the appropriate person for any type of election. In the traditional voting system, ballot paper was used to collect the vote from the voters. The voters have to go to the Centre to give their votes and many people are required to work as voting agents in the Centre to organize and manage the election. So, the traditional voting system required many types of costs to organize an election. Many other problems were raised in the traditional voting system like hijacking the voting machine, giving the vote of another person, manipulating voting data, etc. Many of these problems are solved by using EVM (Electronic Voting Machine). But the voters have to go to the voting center to provide their votes but the old-aged voters or the voters who are unable to walk are not able to provide their voted in this system. This problem can be solved by implementing a secure electronic or online based voting system. The Blockchain is a very popular technology now for storing data securely. The simple model of implementing a secure online based voting system by using blockchain technology has been shown in this paper which will be able to provide many facilities for all types of voters making the voting system more secure and faster
