Digital Voting: A Blockchain-based E-Voting System using Biohash and Smart Contract

摘要

The voting method is the mechanism for implementing the people's view to better administer the system. Throughout recent years, conventional votes have pleased neither people nor government authorities. They are not entirely safe since ballots are simple to strike. It also challenges voter safety and transparency. Additionally, counting the votes takes too long. Modification of voting worldwide is an intriguing issue in current voting system. To solve these problems Digital technology is used in the voting phase for citizens in many nations. Digitalisation alone can not fix the issues fully. There are also many ways of manipulating or modifying digital technology and hindering voting. There should be fairness, independence and impartiality in the voting method. By analyzing the aforementioned problems, this research work combines the digitalisation with the blockchain technology to provide a voting mechanism. The main goals of our voting mechanism are to provide integrity, anonymity, privacy, and security of voters. With the use of markle tree and fingerprint hash, the data integrity and anonymity, privacy, security of the voters has been achieved in our proposed digital voting systems.
