Vote Block - A Digital Ledger

Abstract

Fundamental right to vote or voting in elections forms the basis for democracy. Elections is the process for people to choose their representatives and express their preferences for how they are governed. In all earlier elections of India, a voter casts his/her vote using the ballot paper. This is very much prone to errors and time-consuming because of the EVMs, all the condensed materials like the ballot papers, ballot boxes and stamping are completely replaced into a simple box called ballot unit. The objective of our project is to create a Digital Ledger using Blockchain Technology for Elections. The Digital Ledger will help in keeping the list of all the voters and each and every voter will be able to vote. The Digital Ledger will automatically count the vote and complete the transaction. The digital ledger will make the voting process simple, efficient and faster compared to the current EVM system. Current EVM is bulky, less efficient and tampering issues with the existing system. Election Process takes too much time and money, which can be saved using our system. Voters need to stand in long queues which wastes time and productivity.
