Implementing a Blockchain-based E-Voting System for India: Mitigating Security Challenges through Aadhaar Card Authentication

Abstract

Abstract: Positive developments have resulted from the incorporation of technology into many elements of social life. Blockchain technology is a significant game shift in this area. Blockchain has transformed many organizations by creating a fair playing field for both customers and large entities such as corporations and governments, thanks to its decentralized architecture and immutability. The blockchain's decentralized structure allows for transparency and independent verification of election results, while immutability ensures the integrity of the voting process by eliminating the possibility of interference. While blockchainbased voting systems have benefits such as decentralization, immutability, and transparency, several difficulties must be addressed. Scalability is one of these difficulties that requires careful consideration. Furthermore, it is critical to ensure the security of the voting process, which includes voter fraud, cyberattacks, and vote manipulation. However, by implementing robust safeguards like voter identification via Aadhaar card authentication and advanced security protocols like multifactor authentication and encryption,
