BLOCKCHAIN FOR PSL VOTING

Abstract

E-Voting has come a long way in various different forms since the late 90’s with fundamental benefits above many traditional systems which include increased efficiency and reduction of errors. However, certain threats in achieving widespread adoption still remain of such frameworks, particularly for working on their versatility against likely blames.Blockchain, a current-era technology, and promises to improve the overall resilience of electronic voting systems. In this report, we propose a PSL voting Dapp that protects voter identity andfurther develops availability while keeping the democratic framework straightforward and secrue. The PSL Voting System implements a community-based ballot casting structure that leverages Avalanche's blockchain to achieve voter management and verifiable voting ledger. The project was deployed on the Avalanche testnet toshow convenience, versatility, and proficiency. The blockchain voting project consists of three modules to integrate and collaborate the whole project. One will be the election administration, which will be responsible for creating voting instances, then candidates running for the election added as part of the smart contracts. The opposite end will be the citizen module, where every individual can make a choice for each instance and the vote will be registered on the blockchain to make it tamper-proof. The third module consist of voting instances being created by any user which utilizes the concept of DAO further explained in the report.
