5. What is Blockchain Technology?
A Blockchain Technology is essentially a digital ledger of transactions
that is duplicated and distributed across the entire networkof
computer systems.
Each block in the chain contains a number of transactions,and every
time a new transaction occurs on the blockchain,a record of that
transaction is added to every participant’s ledger.

6. Elections using Blockchain Technology.
Blockchain experts use the example that Blockchain behaves like a
financial ledger. In financial ledgers, information from different financial
accounts must balance before the ledger can be considered correct.
That’s the idea behind Blockchain voting.

7. General Architecture Of Voting Using Blockchain Technology.

8. How is it different from current voting system?
 In the large democracies, voting is a costly process but with the help
of Blockchain Technology it will be much cheaper.
Present voting system needs a lot of manpower, while as Blockchain
is fully automated.
 Voter does not need to be physically present, can vote from anywhere
and at anytime.

9. How it can be beneficial in the time of pandemic?
No contact with other people.
Voting from home.
No need to visit the voting booth.
Ensures safety.
Easily accessible.

10. Advantages.
Simple to use.
Immediate results.
High Acuuracy.
Agility of the entire electoral process.
Less use of staff to count votes manually.

11. Disadvantages.
Voters could be tracked.
Lack of verification.
Lack of transparency.
Undectable fraud(Rice’s thoerem).
Lack of reliability.

12. Conclusion.
The voting system based ond the Blockchain Technology can work
very well.
Voting using Blockchain can validate user identity and prevent
repeated voting.
This technology can store data very well and is completely reliable.
Blockchain technology is being implemented in every aspect. It saves
a lots of time, is completely automated and secure.
The voting process and the calvulations of votes will be faster
because the voting process in done in real time.
