A decentralized, secure, and transparent blockchain-enabled E-voting for Indian elections based on UIDAI aadhar identification.

The blockchain is a distributed, time-stamped, tamper-proof, immutable maintenance of digital information by allowing it to transmit over a cluster of computers not owned by any single entity or trusted third party. After some time, it was realized that one of the innovations of Bitcoin is based on blockchain technology, which could be utilized for other purposes as well. An online E-voting system proposed in this paper uses blockchain technology for online elections in the world's largest democratic country India without relying on a trusted third party where every Indian voter can cast his vote anywhere outside of his/her allotted constituency or from his/her convenient location through smart devices. In this E-voting system, we will use the feature of blockchain technology-based cryptocurrency where each voter will be allocated a wallet with a maximum of one coin inside the wallet for an individual voter to cast a vote and cast vote will be saved in a blockchain network where each vote will be saved on blockchain nodes with distributed ledger technology where voter registration, candidate registration, result generation and votes counting will be done via election administrators with identity verification will be done by UIDAI (The Unique Identification Authority of India) Aadhar ID of each voter.
