SecEVS : Secure Electronic Voting System Using Blockchain Technology

In todays digital environment, the voting system move from paper based to a digital system. A digital e-voting system have many properties such as transparency, decentralization, irreversibility, and non-repudiation. The growth in digital e-voting system arises many security and transparency issues. In this paper, we used the blockchain technology in digital e-voting system to solve the security issues and fulfill the system requirements. It offers new opportunities to deploy a secure e-voting system in any organization or country. The solution is far better as compared to other solution because, it is a decentralized system, contain the results in the form of bit-coins, having different locations. We will also analyze the security of our proposed voting system, which shows our protocol is more secure as compared to other solutions.
