 (i)ABSTRACT

Ensuring the integrity and transparency of electoral processes is

paramount for the democratic foundation of any society. Traditional voting
systems often face challenges such as security vulnerabilities, lack of
transparency, and potential manipulation. In response, this paper proposes a
novel approach to voting systems by leveraging blockchain technology.

Blockchain, a decentralized and immutable ledger, offers unique

advantages for secure and transparent voting systems. By employing
blockchain, each vote is recorded as a transaction, cryptographically secured,
and stored across a distributed network of nodes. This ensures that votes are
tamper-proof and transparent, as every participant can verify the integrity of the
electoral process.
