Abstract-:This research paper explores the development and implementation of a decentralized voting system using blockchain technology. Traditional electoral systems face challenges such as voter fraud, lack of transparency, and centralized control. Blockchain offers a potential solution by providing a secure, transparent, and immutable platform for voting. In this paper, we propose a decentralized voting system built on Ethereum smart contracts, where votes are recorded securely, and election results are tamper-proof. We focus on key functionalities, including voter registration, vote casting, result tallying, and ensuring voter anonymity. The system was designed and tested using Ethereum’s test networks, with MetaMask integration for voter authentication. While the prototype demonstrated a functional and secure system for small-scale elections, challenges such as scalability, voter privacy, and legal compliance remain. Future work includes investigating layer-2 solutions, zero- knowledge proofs, and decentralized identity systems to address these limitations and scale the system for larger elections.
