Abstract

            Online voting is a growing trend that is gaining momentum in modern society. This has great potential to decrease organizational costs and increase voter turnout. This eliminates the need to print ballots or open polling stations-voters can vote anywhere there is an internet connection. Now that elections take place on electronic voting machines, these systems present a high risk of rigging and prone to failure and attacks from intruders (a person who intrudes, especially into a building with criminal intent) The above problems can be addressed through the implementation of new technology namely Blockchain for a transparent and reliable voting process. Blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain. To improve the quality of election we came up with the Aadhar based voting system. Aadhar based voting system helps in reducing the paperwork and decreases multiple voting, decreases the fraudulent elections, and improve election quality.
