A Secure and Transparent E-Voting Framework Using Ethereum Blockchain

Abstract

Ethereum blockchain technology, this study suggests a decentralized electronic voting system to improve digital elections' security, transparency, and credibility.  In order to automate crucial procedures like voter registration, candidate administration, vote casting, and result computation, the system makes use of smart contracts, guaranteeing that every operation is verifiable and impenetrable.  While MetaMask integration allows for secure user authentication and transaction signature, a frontend built on React.js offers an intuitive user experience.  IPFS is used in the implementation of off-chain storage to effectively handle sensitive data and lessen on-chain burden.  To verify the efficacy of the system, functional testing was carried out on the Ethereum test net and Ganache.  Offering a scalable and reliable foundation for contemporary, easily accessible, and secure voting procedures, the modular design shows great promise for practical implementation.
