Building Trust in Elections through Blockchain

The problem VoteChain solves

VoteChain is an innovative voting system designed to modernize and secure the democratic process using blockchain, IOT and RFID technologies. By leveraging these cutting-edge tools, VoteChain ensures transparency, security, and efficiency in elections, ultimately enhancing trust and participation in the electoral system.

Probems in current system-

  1. Manual process
  2. Candidates pose alligations on Election commission.
  3. Less to no Transparency.
  4. Slower authorization.
  5. four to five weeks to declare results.
  6. Duplicacy of votes.
  7. Centralized system.

Solution- VoteChain.

Features

  1. Blockchain Transparency
    VoteChain utilizes blockchain technology to create an immutable and transparent ledger of all voting transactions. Each vote cast is securely recorded on the blockchain, providing a verifiable trail of the electoral process and bolstering trust in the integrity of elections.
  2. RFID Authentication
    To prevent unauthorized access and safeguard against fraudulent activities, VoteChain implements RFID authentication for users.
  3. Anonymity Protection
    VoteChain prioritizes voter privacy by generating random IDs mapped to each user. This anonymization process preserves the confidentiality of voter identities while still maintaining transparency and auditability in the electoral process.
  4. Real-time Results
    Leveraging the decentralized nature of blockchain technology, VoteChain delivers fast and accurate election results in real-time. By eliminating the need for centralized vote counting and verification processes, VoteChain accelerates result dissemination, fostering public trust and confidence in the electoral outcome.
  5. Scalability and Accessibility
    VoteChain promotes inclusivity and democratic participation. Its scalable architecture ensures that the system can handle varying voting loads without compromising performance or reliability.
  6. SMS notification- After successful vote submission each user gets a messege confirming this vote submission.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we run into was implimentin the blockchain of the project, i decided to impliment flow blockchain for this project after a lot of research over the Flow the initial code for flow was written, this makes the blockchain part of the project a big challenge.
Also another Big task is to connect the IOT device with the rest apis.
