Description
Summary:EASY E-VOTE is a student government election voting system that utilized Ethereum blockchain, IPFS (Interplanetary File System), and MetaMask. This paper addressed challenges in traditional e-voting systems by introducing blockchain technology. The Ethereum blockchain provided security and immutability, while IPFS ensured efficient and distributed data storage. MetaMask offered a user-friendly interface. Moreover, the study reviewed literature on e-voting system security, immutability, data storage, distribution, privacy, and anonymity. As part of its data gathering, the study encompassed smart contract testing and a mock election using the proposed system. These experiments demonstrated system functionality and effectiveness. Overall, EASY E-VOTE offered a promising solution for student government elections, addressing limitations of traditional e-voting systems. Blockchain, IPFS, and MetaMask contributed to system security, data integrity, and user-friendliness, making it a viable alternative for transparent and trustworthy elections.
