A Comprehensive Secured Digital Voting System using Web Development and Blockchain

To develop a secure and efficient online voting system that overcomes the challenges of traditional offline voting in India, such as high costs, personnel requirements, delayed results, and accessibility issues, particularly for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and tech-savvy users. The secure digital voting system begins with an Authentication Phase, where users are verified through Face Recognition and OTP Verification, followed by Live Real-Time Monitoring and Session Monitoring to ensure integrity; if unwanted activity is detected, the vote is rejected. The existing voting system in India relies on Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and traditional ballot papers, requiring significant manpower and incurring high costs, which poses challenges for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). The proposed method introduces a secure online voting system that uses Aadhaar-Based authentication with OTP, MTCNN for facial recognition, and MobileNetV2 for facial Real-Time monitoring, along with Blockchain-Based smart contracts for secure verification and end-to-end encryption to ensure secure vote submission. NRI voter turnout in traditional elections has been low due to logistical challenges. With the 2024 introduction of an online election system, turnout is projected to rise by 5%, reaching 72%, thanks to improved convenience and accessibility. This digital shift eliminates geographical barriers, fostering higher engagement and a more inclusive electoral process with significance of 0.049. The developed system effectively addresses the limitations of traditional offline voting by leveraging advanced technologies like MobileNetV2 and TensorFlow. It lays the foundation for a fully digital, secure, and efficient democratic voting process, aligning with the evolving needs of future generations and providing an inclusive solution for all voters.
