Summary:Voting is the primary factor to change the country's future. The manual voting got replaced with the electronic machines called Electronic Voting Machines(EVM). Even after replacement, the issues continue to trouble voters. Issues like missing names in voter list, misplaced votes and so on. That is why we suggest a decentralised system to be integrated with the voting system to make it error-free. One of those decentralised systems are blockchain technology. Our project is developed on Ethereum platform using solidity language. Estonia, the blockchain country uses blockchain for almost all services. The voting procedure is presented in the paper as a case study. We summarise the tools used for the project along with its features. We also appraise the working of the our project in the further sections. Finally, we include the source smart contract code in the appendix. This project open up many possibilities to secure the voting system and help for the welfare of the nations.
