Overview / What is it ??

Election Voting dApp Using Ethereum Blockchain Network With MetaMask in Solidity, individually developed a client-side dApp web application that allows accounts to cast votes. Blockchain-based voting ecosystem allowing anyone anywhere to vote online from a digital device in a fully secure.

Motiation / Why is it ??

Ensure secure and transparent digital voting that votes are counted only once & cryptographically secured by SHA-256 hashing. It’s end-to-end verifiable voting technology eradicates fraud and corruption by creating a complete, auditable, undisputable, open and transparent record of the election on a custom blockchain.

3 pillars of blockchain for reason

• Decentralization.
• Transparency.
• Immutability.

Reason ??

Purpose was to eliminate the current difficulties of offline-physical voting system and make it completely decentralized using the blockchain network and make elections more efficient, less expensive, tension-free.

Tech Used

• Language : Solidity & VS Code

• Other Libraries : Node.js NPM, Ganache, Truffle, web3Js

• Ethereum Virtual machine (allows developers to create decentralized applications (Dapps): MetaMask (web applications to communicate with the Ethereum blockchain, crypto wallet & gateway to blockchain apps, equips you with a key vault, secure login, and token wallet)

Advantages

• Tamper-proof - Ballots and results cannot be altered by any third party

• Transparent - The entire voting process is fully transparent and publicly verifiable

• Private - Voters’ choices and identities are protected

• Accessible - can participate in a modern, convenient and fair way

• Affordable - Digitization of paper and manual processes reduces election costs,

• Tension-less - Eliminating violence caused by questionable results.

Installation Dependencies

Step 1. Require mandatory dependencies

Install these prerequisites to follow along with the tutorial.

NPM: https://nodejs.org

Truffle: https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle

Ganache: http://truffleframework.com/ganache/

Metamask: https://metamask.io/

Step 2. Install dependencies

cd election npm install

Step 3. Start Ganache

Open the Ganache GUI client that you downloaded and installed. This will start your local blockchain instance

Step 4. Compile & Deploy Election Smart Contract

truffle migrate --reset You must migrate the election smart contract each time your restart ganache.

Step 5. Configure Metamask

Unlock Metamask Connect metamask to your local Etherum blockchain provided by Ganache. Import an account provided by ganache.

Step 6. Run the Front End Application

npm run dev Visit this URL in your browser: http://localhost:3000

Result/Summary

• Individually developed client-side dApp web app. that allows accounts to cast votes.

• Allow anyone & anywhere to vote online from a digital device

• Ensure secure and transparent digital voting that votes are counted only once & cryptographically secured by SHA-256 hashing.

• End-to-end verifiable voting technology eradicates fraud and corruption & eliminate the current difficulties of offline-physical voting system by creating more efficient, less expensive

Future scope of project

Can be more secure with upgraded technology
