Blockchain-based E-Voting System using Proof of Voting (PoV) Consensus Algorithm

Abstract

Abstract: Designing the Electronic Voting System is the
biggest challenge, especially in India. It has to satisfy all the
legal guidelines and have a robust tamper proof system. Evoting system can be made up of central and distributed
network types, but the main disadvantage of central
network is single point of failure. Blockchain technology is a
distributed type of network many applications like
Electronic medical records (EMR), IoT and E-voting. In this
paper an electronic voting system using blockchain
technology with powerful Proof-Of-Voting (POV) consensus
algorithm is developed. This paper evaluates the legal issues
that are encountered in conventional methods and how to
overcome them with the help of blockchain technology. In
this paper one system has made with PoV which increases
security, is of low cost and low power consumption.
