A Blockchain-Based Voting System For Grampanchayat

Abstract

Electronic voting (e-voting) has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to improve efficiency, accessibility, and accuracy in elections. However, many existing e-voting systems suffer from security vulnerabilities such as vote manipulation, hacking attempts, lack of voter privacy, and centralized control, leading to concerns about election integrity. Blockchain technology presents a decentralized, immutable, and transparent solution for secure voting [1][2]. This paper proposes a blockchain-based voting system that ensures the integrity of votes, prevents fraud, and maintains voter anonymity. The proposed system consists of multiple layers, including frontend, backend, database, blockchain, and security layers, each playing a crucial role in election security and efficiency. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the system architecture, implementation strategies, security measures, challenges, and potential future improvements. It also discusses how blockchain voting can eliminate the need for intermediaries, reduce election costs, and improve trust in democratic processes [3].
