Abstract
The process of establishing democracy in a country is defined by election. Elections might just be a significant event in today’s democracy, however many segments of population throughout the world lack faith in their electoral system, which is a major source of concern for democracy. Even the world’s most powerful democracies, such as the Republic of India, the United States, and Japan, have a flawed legal system. To eliminate these drawbacks of the electoral system, Blockchain Technology is considered as an ultimate solution. With the present surge in sales and use of blockchain technology for a number of purposes, including banking, medical, and identity, a lot of attention has been focused on the legal concerns rather than its practical uses in administration. In this paper, we discuss the concept of Blockchain in a detailed manner making the reader understand the working of blockchain, its characteristics etc. everything from the scratch, as well as how this concept can be implemented as an efficient solution for public voting and how it is more beneficial from the traditional voting methods, with the goal of eliminating the drawbacks of India’s current electoral system while also providing a better, more trustable, safe, and transparent means of public governance. Blockchain is really an emerging technology that promises to improve the resiliency of electronic voting systems. This method offers a way to profit from blockchain’s advantages, such as cryptological foundations and transparency, to achieve an efficient theme for the e-voting system.
