BlockChain Based E-Voting System

  • This project aims at implementing a voting system based on Blockchain technology.
  • It is a secure, transparent and decentralized way of voting.
  • It converts ballots into transactions and securely mines blocks out of them.
  • The advantage of a blockchain based voting system include the ability to vote from any place and prevent any tampering of votes.

Technology stack used:

  1. Python 3.11.x
  2. Django Web Framework 4.2.1
  3. Bootstrap 4
  4. DB SQLite 3
  5. HTML5
