ABSTRACT
Large segments of society today no longer trust the traditional method of voting because they
think it may be easily manipulated. Cryptographic techniques can be used to address several
problems, assure the security of voting systems, and extend their widespread usage. Modern
civilization is seeing a rise in the practice of electronic voting. It has a significant chance of
lowering administrative expenses and raising participation rates. Moreover, the installation of
polling stations and printing of ballot paper can be minimized. This voting technology allows
voters to vote from the comfort of their own homes. A simple polling app is a great use case
for blockchain technology. The voting process requires special attention to privacy, especially
in the government area, but it will be public, auditable, tamper-proof, and unfiltered, and it can
also provide a global voting process. A block chain polling system also makes it possible to
build response incentive mechanisms for specific use cases. The creation of a voting system
built on top of the Metis Stardust Test net blockchain is proposed in this work. Users can log
in to vote in a particular poll, and each poll is confirmed using a transaction that can be viewed
on the Stardust blockchain explorer.
