ABSTRACT - Blockchain is now one of the most trending topic in the IT industry, but it is mostly about cryptocurrency hype, which is the limited use of blockchain so to exploit the potential of the blockchain technology, Ethereum came up with the concept of decentralized application. Ethereum provides a platform for development of decentralized application using ethereum virtual machine and test it in the virtual environment. What makes it more powerful is the introduction of smart contracts, Smart contract is the integration of meaningful code in the blockchain. Smart contract creates a virtual contract between the owner and the user which is applied to the blockchain so all the users have to agree to the contract which preserves the integrity of the blockchain, Smart contracts validates the use of the blockchain transactions. E-voting is a trending yet critical topic related to providing a reliable and secure online platform to cast votes. In a democratic country there is a high demand of a decentralized and transparent platform of voting. An E-voting platform must be secure, it should provide one person one vote policy, it should be transparent, easier to use. Ethereum and its wide spread network is the most suitable platform for deploying such application. The application can tested and deployed on a test platform using ethereum virtual machine(EVM) which provides a test network to test the application before deploying to the main ethereum network, When E-voting is deployed in the main network all the users can vote for the candidates, It provides a secure way of hiding the voters identity yet keeping the record distributed such that there is not a single point failure, It provides a P2P-based system there is no need of a third party having control over the process. The blockchain technology ensures the consistency and security of the application. In decentralized applications instead of using a single database a distributed database is used, the data is not stored in a single place and the data is not governed by a single party which makes it decentralized and the data is validated is used using cryptography and algorithms. As everyone is getting concern regarding their role in the election and in the transparency in election. A blockchain enabled e-voting platform is the only reliable solution to this problem.
