        abstract = {With the increasing adoption of digital technologies in academic institutions, the need for secure and efficient voting systems has become more prominent. Traditional voting methods are often time-consuming, less accessible, and vulnerable to manipulation. This paper presents a secure electronic voting (e-voting) framework that incorporates multi-factor authentication to enhance voter verification and system reliability. The proposed system utilizes user credentials along with One-Time Password (OTP) authentication to prevent unauthorized access and ensure that only eligible voters participate in the election process.
The framework also employs encryption techniques to protect sensitive data during transmission and storage, thereby maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of votes. A web-based architecture is designed to provide scalability and ease of access across multiple platforms. The system demonstrates strong resistance to common security threats such as impersonation, replay attacks, and vote tampering. Overall, the proposed solution offers a secure, transparent, and user-friendly approach for conducting elections in academic institutions.},
