        abstract = {Democratic voting is a critical component of governance in any nation. Existing methods, such as paper ballots and electronic voting machines (EVMs), face several challenges, including lack of transparency, voter fraud, vote tampering, low voter turnout, and security vulnerabilities. The transition to a fully digital voting system has been hindered primarily by concerns over security and trustworthiness. Blockchain technology presents a promising solution to these issues by leveraging its decentralized, transparent, and immutable characteristics. This paper explores the potential of blockchain technology in designing a secure and transparent e-voting system. By utilizing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, we demonstrate the development and testing of a prototype e-voting application. The system integrates features like limited token allocation to prevent duplicate voting, real-time verification, and a transparent tallying process. Additionally, the paper discusses the benefits and limitations of employing blockchain technology in e-voting while showcasing a practical web-based implementation. The findings highlight blockchain’s ability to enhance security, transparency, and trust in electoral processes, paving the way for future advancements in this domain.},
