Abstract
Choosing a representative through the process of an election is one of the most important functions in a democracy. The Election Commission is responsible for all the proceedings of transparent and fair elections. The votes are cast through physical means with the help of a ballot. The voters in each constituency have several polling booths designed for this purpose. The physical casting and counting of votes through the ballot procedures is a lengthy task that uses a lot of resources and harms the environment. Therefore, the need for an efficient E voting platform is the need of the hour which would also fulfill the capabilities for the Digital India campaign successfully. The migration to an E voting paradigm must overcome the obstacle of security. The Blockchain is a perfect addition to this platform as it is one of the most secure and tamper proof algorithms along with the AES or Advanced Encryption Standard that can guarantee the security of the citizens votes. The security attained through Blockchain is also evaluated extensively through experimentation to achieve exceptional results dwarfing the conventional approaches.
