A decentralized and automated online voting system refers to an electronic voting method that leverages Blockchain technology to guarantee both transparency and security. It removes the need for intermediaries, making it more efficient and cost-effective than traditional voting methods. Aim of the paper is to develop an online voting system using Blockchain technology for secure and transparent voting. The proposed approach involves developing a decentralized voting system using Ethereum Blockchain technology. Smart contracts are used to manage the voting process and ensure its integrity. The datasets used in this paper will consist of mock voting data to simulate a real-world scenario. The results and discussions include an analysis of the system’s performance in terms of security, scalability, and usability. Future enhancements include integrating biometric authentication for enhanced security and accessibility.
