Abstract
By voting, people can decide the direction of change and development since the people have a sense of “Ownership of Government”. Voting is a very important process in any democratic country. For a secure voting, blockchain technology used by electronic voting is more effective and secure. Many digital services are being developed by the blockchain technology. The investigation on the blockchain topic is still proceeding; however, the research mainly focuses on its legal and technical issues, but this novel concept can be taken advantage of and can be used to create advanced digital services. This paper is going to grip the open-source blockchain technology, and we are going to propose an e-voting system based on this technology. We are using the SHA-256 hash function to keep the voter anonymous, and we are enabling the dual authentication process while the voters’ cast their vote. This will result in the minimalization of malicious activities since it is safe, reliable, secure, and trustworthy.
