Abstract: Voting is a process for making collective decisions or to express a mass opinion on list of options available. It is a most commonly used instrument to elect a political representative. It is apparent that the methodology currently followed for voting in India can be improved at many levels to make it more robust and efficient. Currently, the voting methodology followed in Indian political elections has two major issues, one is high cost per voter, and low voter turnout. There are many attempts by other democratic setups to tackle this problem by offering online method of voting, but the most trustworthy and promising solution is considered to be voting platform/infrastructure backed by Blockchain. Most of the currently existing Blockchain based voting solutions are computationally expensive, doesn’t provide a verifiable secret ballot, slow, and Byzantine Fault Tolerant Proof of Work algorithms run on a public Blockchain network. The work presented in this paper aims at addressing these issues by proposing Blockchain based framework that leverages Hyperledger Fabric for Scalable Voting System. The proposed method uses Aadhar number for authentication of voters. The proposed method can efficiently cater the secure, trustworthy, and promising to Indian scale. The proposed method offers a various solution, offline and online voting with features such as cost-effective deployments, instantaneous vote counting, Cast as Intended Verifiability, and an observable and auditable architecture. The proposed method has been tested on real time setup and the experimental results are promising.
Keywords: Blockchain, byzantine fault tolerant proof of work algorithms, hyperledger, scalable voting system
