decentralized-voting-system

A decentralized voting system where a user can walk into a government authorized center (Ex- banks, telecom companies etc.) and cast their vote using the proposed portal.

• No VoterID required as a user's validity (age: 18+) is determined dynamically using the Aadhaar API
• Secure vote by Azure blockchain and biometric authentication (using pre-existing Aadhaar database)
• Shorter wait times as it is decentralized
• Portal front end can provide useful information on the candidate and can aid in their decision making (display promises, proposals etc.)

Technologies

• Azure Blockchain
• Python (to communicate with blockchain and for backend and frontend API calls)
• Truffle (provides tools to create and test smart contracts)
• Ganache (to create private blockchain network for testing on localhost)
• Flask (web framework) ]
