Abstract
In India, the conventional voting system consists of paper polling, electronic ballot system, and associated mechanical devices. However, for the improvement of conventional voting system, its scalability and accessibility from anywhere, a digital voting system can be built using the electronic polling devices like e-voting, mobile voting, and IoT-related centralized voting system. But the conventional system faces some limitations—fake voters, costing, quicker outcomes, constant Internet connectivity, secure user interface, snooping, and DoS attack. To remove those barriers, blockchain is introduced in e-voting applications that provide stability and anonymity of voters due to the use of Merkle tree and hashed confidential data and any changes can be detected if the hash value is changed and the message is conveyed immediately. In this scheme, we have proposed an e-voting application using private blockchain, practical Byzantine fault-tolerant (PBFT) non-competitive consensus algorithm, and ECC-based session generated by server.
