Decentralized E-Voting and Governance System Using Blockchain

Abstract

A democratic form of governance is the fairest and most effective system of authority in the human society. A key feature of any democratic authority is free and fair elections. However ensuring free and fair elections is an arduous task due to corrupt political practices, irresponsible management and human error. Using modern technologies like blockchain, can be an effective approach to reduce any intentional or unintentional attempt to sabotage the voting process. In this paper we lay out an overview of the methodology we propose for an efficient execution of the blockchain based voting system.
