        abstract = {As digital transformation reshapes modern governance, electronic voting (e-voting) systems have emerged as a viable solution to improve electoral processes by enhancing accessibility, efficiency, and speed. However, the adoption of e-voting technologies remains constrained by concerns over security, transparency, and trust. This paper presents the design, development, and evaluation of a reliable e-voting framework implemented in Python, aimed at addressing these challenges through a secure and modular architecture. The proposed system incorporates critical features such as voter authentication, end-to-end vote encryption, anonymized ballot storage, and role-based access control to ensure data integrity and voter privacy. Cryptographic techniques, including public-key encryption and secure hashing, are employed to safeguard against tampering and unauthorized access. The framework was tested using simulated election scenarios to assess its functionality, resilience, and performance under various threat models. Evaluation results demonstrate the system’s effectiveness in providing a trustworthy platform for secure digital elections, highlighting its potential for real-world deployment and future integration with advanced technologies like biometrics and block chain.},
