Abstract
Democracy depends on elections, but traditional voting procedures usually face problems like ballottampering, vote manipulation, voter fraud, low voter turnout, and a lack of transparency. Blockchaintechnology offers a workable solution with its decentralized, and transparent, voting process. Byproviding a safe, open, and easily accessible platform for citizens to exercise their democratic rights,decentralized voting via the Ethereum blockchain has the potential to revolutionize election procedures.Voter fraud, accessibility issues, and high operating costs are some of the problems with traditional paperbased voting that can be resolved by integrating blockchain technology into electronic voting systems.With blockchain-enabled e-voting, or BEV, eligible voters can use a computer or smartphone toanonymously cast their ballots. This strategy makes use of distributed consensus and immutability, two ofblockchain's built-in security features, to guarantee the integrity of the voting process. Additionally, byfacilitating remote participation, BEV implementation can expand voter access and lower barriers toparticipation, particularly for underrepresented communities. Online voting is made safe, transparent, andimpenetrable with decentralized voting utilizing the Ethereum blockchain. Because it is a decentralizedapplication based on the Ethereum blockchain, users can vote and see the results without the assistance ofmiddlemen. Because votes are stored on the blockchain in this system, it is impossible for anyone totamper with or change the outcomes. The automated, transparent, and secure voting process is guaranteedby the use of smart contracts. With the potential to increase voter turnout and confidence in thedemocratic process, blockchain technology and the deployment of a decentralized system provide adependable and affordable solution for fair and trustworthy elections.
