Enhancing Electoral Integrity: Implementation of a Secure E-Voting Platform

This paper proposes the design and implementation of a secured e-voting system intended to innovate the electoral process, thereby improving voters'.participation in elections. Traditional voting methods have several problems, including inefficiencies in logistics, limited voter access, and security concerns. The proposed e-voting system aims to address these issues by providing a digital platform that ensures secure, efficient, and accessible voting. The system is built using Java, JSP, and MySQL, featuring an easy-to-use interface, a strong backend, and secure data management.The system uses an OTP-based authentication method through an SMS gateway to ensure that only authorized voters can access it. This two-factor authentication greatly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and improves security. Additionally, all votes are encrypted before they are stored, ensuring voter privacy and data integrity.The system's architecture is scalable, meaning it can handle many users at once without slowing down. Extensive testing has shown that the system is reliable and efficient in various situations, making it suitable for secure and transparent elections. By incorporating modern technology, this e-voting system has the potential to change how elections are conducted, encourage more voter participation, and maintain the integrity of election results in the digital age.
