Online Voting Application Using Block chain

Democratic country is defined by its fair and just elections. The transparent and safe conduction of election is the central goal of a Democratic country and is a very crucial job for the various authorities. Most of the commissions formed for the conduction of these elections have been stressed with the increasing number of voters and a large number of polling booths designed to facilitate the casting of the vote by every citizen that has reached the legal voting age. To provide efficient elections, all these votes from the voters must be secured. Therefore, to bolster the security of the votes and reduce the costs of conducting an election, the Blockchain paradigm is proposed. The blockchain is one of the most secure platforms that can guarantee tamper-proof results due to its robust architecture. The block is the main component that will store the votes and the chain is the structure that will secure the votes once they have been cast. The proposed methodology integrates the blockchain paradigm for tamper proof secure and trustworthy elections. The Blockchain approach also enables a high level of privacy that would also increase the likelihood of a higher voter turnout which has been plaguing our country of late.
