Smart Elections

A Blockchain based solution for temperproof elections.

Project by Team Pro at I_HACK Hackathon E-Summit'19 IIT Bombay

This repository decentralized-Dapp-Server is main server for Smart Contract, API, Database, UI-Result

Smart Elections is a voting system based on Decentralised Ethereum Blockchain Network. An attempt to improve India's current election system using Ethereum Blockchain Network.

• NO more Biasing in votes
• The authenticity to every voter and candidate via Smart Transaction
• Votes are decentralized and distributed across a peer-to-peer network for security

Problem statement:

India's EVMs are Vulnerable to Fraud A research article have claimed many ways to temper vote.

The question arises - why we even do voting in India? Some temper proof solution needs to be made for secure and fair Elections and Voting, So that user is sure their vote is not being tempered, We came up with this great solution

Our project uses Blockchain and Smart Etherum contracts to make sure each and every vote is being stored peer to peer in a decentralized network with Hashing so that every vote is secured and elections are fair

Simple Steps :

1. Verify User - Use some Biometric user verification (currently not implemeneted)
2. Take Vote - Take vote via IOT devce based on rasberry Pi 3
3. Make Smart Contract - Store the vote via Smart-Contract in Etherum network
4. Results - Count the total votes in network

Complete project :-

Being a large and team project there are multiple repositories for individual stack and field

• decentralized-Dapp-Server(this)- main server for Smart Contract, API, Database, UI-Result

• Smart-Elections_Solidity - consists of etherum side smart contract code

• Smart_elections_rasp - voting machine based on Raspberry Pi 3 for taking votes from voters

• Smart-Elections-Server - old main server (Smart Contract, API, Database, UI-Result)

Features

• Registration - of voters and candidates with respective campaigns
• Verification and Voting - of candidates on election
• Results - check out major and individual campaigns statistics of votes

Tech

Dapp server uses some projects to work properly:

• [Mongoose] - Object modelling and handling
• [Faker] - Generating dummy data
• [Web3] - Interact with remote ethereum node
• [EtherJs] - Ethereum wallet implementation and utilities

Installation

(This repository and main server) Install the dependencies and start the server.

$ cd decentralized-Dapp-Server
$ yarn install
$ yarn start

Development

• The data-base is connected to Mlabs and already seeded To seed the database just run the below files

  data/seedParty.js
  data/seedVoter.js
  data/seedCandidate.js

  OR use data/main.js and uncomment line 30,31,32 (recommended)
• You will need connection and addresses for etherum network too check this for info
• A UI or IOT to take input and make server call (check this for IOT)
