Decentralized Incognito Limpid E-Voting System

Abstract

Voting is a constitutional part of  governmental systems which gives the people of the nation  the liberty to express their opinions. The contemporary  system constitutes Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) that  is a pile-up of data natively and centralized, making it  implausible. Since the data is amassed locally over the  EVM(s) prior to the election's cessation, it could be hacked.  Furthermore, there have been events of "polling booth  hijacking" in some regions during the elections. Ethereum  blockchain technology addresses concerns regarding  integrity, security, and accessibility of current voting  systems. Expanding e-voting into Ethereum based  blockchain technology is one potential application of the  emerging blockchain technology. This paper presents a  decentralized, incognito, and limpid e-voting system named  "DILE". It will escalate accessibility as the users could cast  their votes without paying a visit to the polling booths.  DILE makes practical and effective use of Ethereum's  blockchain technology and smart contracts for its  implementation.
