        abstract = {A blockchain based electronic voting (e-voting) system is attracting attention by the reason for enhancing transparency, security, efficiency and accessibility. From the recent years, e-voting and blockchain technologies were studied and developed significantly, which can ably reshape electoral systems globally. Countries like Switzerland, Russia, Estonia, America was experimentally implementing blockchain based e-voting systems. In this paper, we present a blockchain based e-voting system which ca ensure vote integrity through cryptographic signature and invariable ledger technologies. This system implements RSA-2048 digital signature for voter authentication, SHA-256 hashing for blockchain integrity, and B crypts for password security. It also contains Java Swing based desktop applications which have different portals for admin and voters. The system can prevent common attacks like double voting, unauthorized access, and ballot manipulation. In the system, each vote is cryptographically signed by the voter's private key and recorded in a proof of work blockchain with Merkle tree validation. This work can contribute to a practical implementation of blockchain technology for democratic process and addressing key challenges in e-voting security.},
