        abstract = {In the face of technological advancement and greater digital participation, traditional voting has been deemed inefficient, insecure, and opaque. Such problems exist in most democracies, including India, which requires highly dependable, transparent, scalable, and secure systems for managing elections. To address such issues, this article proposes an India-dedicated “Decentralized Voting System” based on “Ethereum Blockchain Technology.” This system is a decentralized electronic voting platform that utilizes the intelligence of Ethereum, which offers better security and prevents outside tampering. The system is composed of three distinct solid components: voter registration, voting, and voting outcomes. Each is fortified with advanced cryptography techniques along with “validation through Aadhaar” to guarantee identity while maintaining accessibility. Each component forms the architecture of the system and combines voter registration, voting, and voting outcomes. Due to the structure of Ethereum, fraud, vote tampering, and system manipulation are greatly reduced because of decentralization, transparency, and immutability. Compared to other traditional voting systems, our system has enhanced security, protection, and trust among voters; effectiveness; and expansion capabilities. This implies that our system has the potential to support secure and democratic elections for large populations.},
