Deploying Electronic Voting System Use-case on Ethereum Public Blockchain

Abstract

Electronic voting system has great potential to decrease organizational cost of traditional voting system and also it has ability to maximize the voters turnout. When real time voting system is used for election, it must be convenient, secure, accurate, safe and legitimate. This paper evaluates blockchain framework and implement real time voting system by using blockchain technology which increase the security and decrease the total organizational cost for election. Proposed model is divided into three parts i.e., admin, voter and registration phase. Here admin responsible for managing the life cycle of each and every election. It has not allowed to cast a ballot. Registration phase checks voters’ recognizable proof and register represents them in the framework. In this, accounts are held by authorities in surveying station found close by local locations. We used RPC server for network and solidity as a programming language for smart contract. Here protocol execution uses consensus mechanism which is responsible to secure the Ethereum blockchain. We tested proposed model by using Rinke by test network for ensuring the feasibility.
