Abstract: The blockchain voting system provides a revolutionary response to issues with load management, cost, security, and scalability that plague conventional election procedures. Blockchain, in contrast to traditional systems, offers a decentralized, transparent, and unchangeable platform that can manage high voter participation, which makes it perfect for populous nations like India. Voter manipulation is prevented by the system's use of cryptography to secure voter anonymity and data integrity. Because it is decentralized, there are no single points of failure, which improves security. Enabling remote voting lowers the requirement for actual polling places and human involvement while simultaneously boosting voter turnout and cost efficiency. Real-time voter list updates, shared scaling techniques for dependable performance, and wallet-based voting with distinct Vote IDs for fraud prevention are some of the salient features.All transactions are transparent and verifiable, ensuring transparency, security, and confidence. This blockchain-based method improves accessibility and fortifies democratic processes by providing a scalable, secure, and affordable option for contemporary elections.
