A Platform to Make Voting System Transparent Using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Widespread distrust toward conventional voting methods has made conducting fair democratic elections critically challenging across the globe. Citizens have frequently witnessed violations of their fundamental rights during electoral processes. Existing digital voting platforms have faced persistent criticism owing to an absence of verifiability and openness. The root cause of failure in both traditional and digital voting systems lies in their susceptibility to manipulation. This paper addresses these shortcomings by introducing a blockchain-powered Voting Management System (VMS) that maximizes transparency, reliability, and accountability. The proposed platform enables nationwide digital elections without requiring any physical polling infrastructure. It incorporates flexible consensus algorithms for scalability, a Chain Security Algorithm for automatic chain validation, smart contracts to prevent unauthorized transactions, cryptographic hashing for data protection, and countermeasures against 51% mining attacks. Performance evaluations confirm the system's capability to operate efficiently at a large population scale
