Abstract

There are numerous good effects of technology on our social lives. Creating an architecture that is globally connected around-the-clock makes it simple to access a wide range of resources and services. In addition, technology, such as the Internet, has fostered creativity and invention. Blockchain, the foundation of cryptocurrencies, is one example of the latest innovations. It is claimed that blockchain technology will revolutionise a number of current and future products and services. It is assuming a prominent role in many services as an equalising element to the existing parity between consumers and huge corporations/governments because of its immutability attribute and decentralised architecture. The blockchain has the potential to be used in electronic voting systems. Such a plan would aim to offer a decentralised architecture for the operation of conducting a fair election in order to determine the people’s choice in creating a better democracy. Utilizing smart contracts, Ethereum stands out as an ideal choice for developing advanced, cost-effective, secure, transparent, and user-friendly e-voting systems. The Ethereum network, renowned for its consistency and widespread adoption, particularly excels in providing logical frameworks for smart contracts. Essential qualities of an e-voting system, including security against duplicate votes and complete transparency while safeguarding attendee privacy, align seamlessly with Ethereum's capabilities. Choosing Ethereum ensures a robust foundation for creating trustworthy and efficient e-voting solutions, addressing critical aspects of security, transparency, and user accessibility.
