According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to the development of a blockchain-based secure voting platform that aims to increase transparency, accuracy, and accessibility in online voting systems. The technology is a fusion of blockchain technology and instantaneous identity verification that allows only authenticated individuals to cast their votes without compromising their privacy. A multifactor authentication mechanism validates the identity of a voter through biometric data, encryption methods, and government-certified digital IDs. After being authenticated, the votes are encrypted and added as unalterable entries to the decentralized blockchain database, which prevents tampering, repetition, or any other form of intrusion. Smart contracts perform the tasks of validating ballots, tallying votes, and conducting audits, which allows for the timely consolidation of results with high accuracy. The voting platform offers both remote and onsite voting capabilities via secure interfaces."
