Abstract— The integrity of democratic processes hinge on the ability of citizens to participate in elections freely and securely. However, millions of citizens, including migrants, students, military personnel, and those living away from their registered constituencies, are often unable to exercise their right to vote due to logistical and administrative barriers. This paper proposes and explores the development of a secure and accessible electronic voting (e-voting) system that empowers registered voters to cast their votes remotely using mobile devices, without needing to be physically present in their home constituency.
The system is designed to leverage modern web technologies and security protocols to ensure authenticity, anonymity, transparency, and integrity throughout the voting process. Central to this system is the implementation of Password-based authentication, a secure login interface to prevent fraud and ensure vote immutability. The architecture ensures that only eligible voters can vote once, from anywhere in the country, without compromising the sanctity of the electoral process.
The research explores technical challenges including voter verification, vote encryption, secure vote transmission, and data integrity, while also considering legal, ethical, and administrative implications. Additionally, the study includes a comparative analysis of existing global e-voting systems and highlights how the proposed model can be adapted to meet the needs of a diverse and populous democracy like India.
