DECENTRALIZED VOTING SYSTEM

Abstract

ABSTRACT A decentralized voting system (100), comprising a blockchain network configured to record and verify voting transactions; a voter authentication module integrated with the blockchain to verify voter identity through unique identifiers; a digital ballot generation module for creating tamper-proof ballots for each eligible voter; a smart contract system within the blockchain network, configured to record each cast vote as a transaction on the blockchain; ensure immutability and transparency of each recorded vote; tally votes automatically without centralized oversight; and a results verification module to provide accessible, real-time vote counts and final results directly from the blockchain, ensuring public auditability.

Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] This invention generally relates to a field of voting systems and, in particular, to a decentralized voting system utilizing blockchain technology.
BACKGROUND

[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0003] Traditional voting systems, including both paper ballots and electronic voting machines, face challenges such as fraud, lack of transparency, and limited accessibility. In democratic processes, the integrity of voting is paramount, yet centralized systems often create vulnerabilities due , Claims:1. A decentralized voting system (100), comprising:
a blockchain network configured to record and verify voting transactions;
a voter authentication module integrated with the blockchain to verify voter identity through unique identifiers;
a digital ballot generation module for creating tamper-proof ballots for each eligible voter;
a smart contract system within the blockchain network, configured to:
record each cast vote as a transaction on the blockchain;
ensure immutability and transparency of each recorded vote;
tally votes automatically without centralized oversight; and
a results verification module to provide accessible, real-time vote counts and final results directly from the blockchain, ensuring public auditability.

2. The decentralized voting system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the voter authentication module uses biometric data for security.
