Purpose: This paper aims to propose Block-chain based Online Voting System over traditional voting systems for fair and transparent elections. Unlike traditional voting systems, under the proposed one there is no central tallying authority. Voting is done on a proof-based mechanism and each vote is stored as a permanent, unalterable block in the block-chain encrypted by cryptographic hash. Design/methodology/approach: The proposed system VaultVote uses Ethereum blockchain as a network, a smart contract in solidity as backend and HTML and JavaScript as frontend. As the eth-voting is implemented on Ethereum blockchain so the information is immutable, no one can change any data including casted votes. It works on a decentralized server, as a result no single person or organization can own it. Ganache has been used across the entire development cycle; enabling to develop, deploy, and test dApps in a safe and deterministic environment. Findings: In Our study we had deployed a comprehensive system, VaultVote which is a block-chain based voting system using Ethereum network. The proposed system is cost efficient with transparent handling, offering voter's privacy and auditability. Our proposed system VaultVote is tested on Ganache local network with five participants as contesting candidates and 100 voters for casting the votes. The system is comprehensive one and satisfies all the requirements of a secret, trustworthy and completely online voting system. Originality: There are several solutions for voting involving differing degree of benefits and drawbacks. Institutions conducting elections are always in search of a solution which may resolve the significant issues like lack of transparency and auditability. Block-chain technology may surely emerge as the most sought after solution to such teething problems which are faced by election commissions/agencies across the globe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
