Our project, ClearVote uses the Ethereum blockchain platform and Ether.js library. To create smart contracts we have used the Solidity programming language. These smart contracts define the rules of the voting process, including eligibility criteria, voting procedures, and result calculation.
The project allows users to give votes for candidates and view the voting results in real time. All ballots and transactions are stored on the blockchain, along with timestamps, providing complete transparency and accountability. This feature helps to prevent rigging and fraud as every vote takes place transparently.
Our project offers several benefits over traditional voting systems. It reduces the possibility of tampering with the results and ensures that every vote is counted. Moreover, it enhances the transparency and credibility of the voting process, and it eliminates the need for intermediaries, reducing the associated costs.
We have used Arcana for the authentication process. Arcana supports passwordless email and six social login providers. In our case, we have implemented the process using Gmail (google authentication) which directly connects to the Arcana Wallet.
Here we have implemented targeted notifications, and as soon as the user casts a vote, a targeted notification will be sent to that particular account which can be seen on the website itself, and we have used Push Protocol to acheive the same.
