College Election System using Blockchain

Abstract

Blockchain is a distributed system that confirms security and reliability. It has started a new era of a solid and consensus system. Because of blockchain's emphasis on security, many other operations and processes are adopting the same reliable approach. Almost all processes and operations are now encouraged to be computed electronically in the digital Ethereum network that has been presented. In the current situation, we have seen what the conduction of elections has done to the worsening situation of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The proposed system uses an Ethereum network on a blockchain platform to implement a college voting system, making use of the Aadhar API. E-voting will help to support transparency and voters' trust to reduce corruption and unreliability in the voting processes. The use of this system will allow a voter to vote from home while also having the assurity that this process is completely secure and reliable due to the use of blockchain technology.

Impact of Decentralization on Electronic Voting Systems: A Systematic Literature Survey

“…Another interesting observable trend is the preference for proprietary blockchains in later proposals, namely, [158], [87], [162], [160], [114], [103], and [166]. The usage of blockchain solutions conceived from scratch was not registered in any of the earlier publications, except for [78], but as the concept became more familiar and popular programming languages, such as Python or Go, began offering support for such developments, some authors seem to prefer building a blockchain from the ground up, perfectly tailored to their requirements, instead of going around the limitations of existing ones.…”

“…But the chronological distribution of these does not appear to develop any evident patterns. Only four proposals, [114], [103], [167] and [166], went for consortium-type solutions. This hybrid approach seems to be more favourable in later publications, but the reason for that does not seem evident other than the maturation of the underlying implementation technology.…”
