Abstract : Embarking on a transformative journey, a pioneering blockchain-based e-voting system is unveiled, set to redefine democratic processes with tamper-resistant elections and transparent voting through smart contracts. The system provides real-time results. Each vote is instantly recorded and can be witnessed by the participant. To ensure secure participation, Google authentication with Firebase and MongoDB is introduced for user verification on public forums. Private organizations can also limit their voting to specific groups using their credentials with added security through a JWT-based authentication system. This enables organizations to control voting access, minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and manipulation. Securely generating and storing JWTs on the server side ensures participants remain anonymous and secure throughout the prototype. This setup demonstrates a peer-to-peer voting system that grants equal power to everyone involved and provides real-time results. Additionally, the significance and evolutionary principles of blockchain in e-voting are briefly discussed, emphasizing the importance of transparent and secure democratic participation.
