Main Goal

The objective of this product was to create a voting system in India which is trustworthy, secure and easily accessible for all senior citizens from any part of India. Creating a blockchain based mobile app is a revolutionary idea that would solve all the problems we have been facing including a high cost of rs 15000 crs in conducting the elections all over India every four years. We can bring this cost down substantially. Also one of the major benefits would be election can be done in just 1]one day and results can be declared same day or next day itself which will create more trust and transparency in the election process.

Process

Blockchain is the future based technology which can be used to leverage its benefits for election.

  • Biometric based Face / Voice recognition
  • Data is immutable and can be easily accessible for auditing
  • Voting can be stored in an encrypted manner and cannot be tampered with
  • Results can be declared the same day
  • Cost can be substantially brought down from Rs 15000 crs+ for every general elections
  •  

Outcome

It will increase voter participation overall as citizens can vote from the confine of their homes without stepping out. It will make it more accessible for everyone to vote. It will remove the fake aadhaar cards from the system.
