Abstract — Voting is a crucial component of a nation's governance. Voting is still done by physically visiting to polling places. Security is not guaranteed by this procedure, and instances of tampering have been noted. With the help of Blockchain technology and an online voting system, this study seeks to eliminate these problems with the voting process. Every vote is secure thanks to blockchain technology and hashing. One choice is regarded as a transaction in this instance. A private blockchain that incorporates election events into this distributed ledger is developed using a peer-to-peer network. The design of the programme obscures the user from the intricate details of the underlying architecture. Each voter is tracked using their government-issued Aadhar ID. This number is used by the plan to guarantee that each voter only has one opportunity to cast a ballot. All peers are in sync when the decision is shown as a transaction. The votes are encrypted, hashed, and added to the blockchain to improve security and create a chain of blocks because each peer is associated with a public and private key. Using a vote is not a ballot cannot be used to determine the voter. In this study, a peer-to-peer network is created with a minimum of three peers. Because voting takes place online, it is expected that this paper will increase voter turnout. How scalable a blockchain programme can be is determined by the secondary memory limit of the peer.
