According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a blockchain-based electronic voting system ensuring transparency, security, and immutability in electoral processes. Each vote is recorded as an encrypted transaction on a distributed ledger, guaranteeing tamper-proof storage and traceability. Voter authentication is achieved using cryptographic digital identities and biometric verification, ensuring one-person-one-vote integrity. Smart contracts manage vote tallying and consensus-based validation without centralized interference. The system's decentralized architecture prevents data manipulation, denial-of-service attacks, and unauthorized access. A real-time audit trail allows authorities and observers to verify election results securely. The invention enables transparent, scalable, and verifiable elections-reducing fraud and administrative costs while enhancing public trust in democratic systems."
