| description | In any democratic electoral system the fundamental right of every eligible citizen is to vote in order to elect the desired representative. However minimal efforts have been made to improve the voting mechanism. Many states are still utilizing paper based balloting systems, however technological advancements have led to the introduction of electronic voting machines (EVMs) to improve security and maintain public trust in the electoral process. Irrespective of these efforts, lack of transparency, low voter turnout, and susceptibility to vote rigging persist in these E-Voting systems. Blockchain technology is emerging as a solution to address these challenges by enhancing security and trust in E-Voting, effectively mitigating its longstanding issues. The transparency, immutability, and resistance to tampering provided by blockchain enhance the reliability and credibility of the voting process. This paper presents a decentralized E-Voting system that uses a public blockchain built on Ethereum smart contracts to ensure public accountability and transparency in the E-Voting process.
