Smart Voter
A solution to all your e-voting problems. Powered by Ethereum.
The problem Smart Voter solves
• Voting can be done from the comfort of one's home but without the risk of servers being hacked
• Identities of the voters are verified via data in the government/electoral commission's database
• No mapping between real world identity of the person and vote cast by him
• No possibility of booth rigging or casting votes in the name of people don't cast their votes
• Possibility of parties casting multiple voters checked by high transaction fee of voting.
• In the current pandemic situation, queuing up a large crowd can increase the chances of the virus spread. So our web application eradicates this problem as voters can vote online from their homes.
