303COM: Project Background Electronic Voting (E-Voting) is a Method of Casting Votes Which uses Electronic Systems to aid in Casting and Counting Votes: Individual Project Report, CU, Singapore

Project Background
Electronic Voting (E-Voting) is a method of casting votes which uses electronic systems to aid in casting and counting votes in an election in cryptography. It secures Multi-Party Computation (MPC) because of the properties such as transparency, decentralization, irreversibility, and nonrepudiation. In general, two main types of e-voting can be identified:
1. E-voting which is physically supervised by representatives of governmental or independent electoral authorities (e.g. electronic voting machines located at polling stations)
2. Remote e-voting via the Internet (also called i-voting) where the voter submits their votes electronically to the election authorities, from any location. Blockchain has a large potential when integrated into many areas.

Problem Statement

● Authorized voters should be able to vote (equal opportunity about accessibility and place).
● The cost of the election should affordably.
● The voter can verify whether their vote has been counted,
● and the result is tally throughout the voting process.
● The vote is immutable which disallow to tamper and
● involved the third-party.
● The result should be the same as the numbers voted by the
● authorized voters.
● No others can refer to their vote than themselves.
● The votes should be able to audit after the election.
● The voting procedure should be able to be verified by all participants.

Objective
● Eliminate the central database. P2P Network that each node has the same blockchain (data) but distributed that resulting in no single point of failure [6].
● When a new data or so-called block is created, the previous block will be referenced by the new block that constructed an immutable chain that protects data from tampering
● Control over half of the nodes (51%) in the network which made the system extremely secured (Greatest wins the game.). It is impossible to launch DDoS to multiple nodes in the network simultaneously [6].
● Allow the developer to program and customize blockchain (i.e. smart contracts) [7].
● Least CPU resources cost in terms of performance [8]. Scope
● Voters must have an anti-virus-equipped electronic device such as Laptop, Mobile phones, etc.
● Every voter must have an internet connection for voting.
● Every voter must have a working email id registration in the system.
● Authentication of voters is done through OTP generation.
● The application will be used for organization-level elections.
