Blockchain-based Voting System

This project is a Blockchain-based Voting System application built using Python and Tkinter. It uses blockchain technology to ensure the integrity and transparency of the voting process by securely recording each vote in a tamper-proof ledger.

Features

1. Blockchain Integration

   • Each vote is added as a block to the blockchain, containing a timestamp, candidate choice, and hash of the previous block.
   • Blockchain ensures that once recorded, a vote cannot be altered, providing transparency and immutability.

2. Voter Registration

   • Unique voter IDs are hashed and stored to securely register voters and prevent duplicate votes.
   • Voter information is securely loaded from a voter_data.json file.

3. Vote Casting

   • Users enter their Voter ID and select a candidate from predefined options.
   • The system verifies the voter's registration and voting status before allowing a vote to be cast.

4. Results Display

   • After voting, results show the number of votes each candidate received.
   • Results update in real-time as votes are cast.

5. Blockchain Viewing

   • View the blockchain to display each block's details, such as index, timestamp, data (candidate choice), and hash.
   • This transparency enhances trust in the voting process.

6. Educational Section

   • A simple explanation of blockchain technology and its application in this system is provided.

How to Use

1. Setup

   • Ensure Python is installed along with required dependencies.
   • Run the main script to start the application.

2. Cast Vote

   • Enter a valid Voter ID and choose a candidate to cast a vote.
   • Each voter can vote only once.

3. View Results and Blockchain

   • Click on "Show Results" to view the voting outcomes.
   • Click on "View Blockchain" to see the chain of blocks and verify each recorded vote.

Usage

This application serves as a prototype for secure, transparent voting systems. It highlights how blockchain technology can be leveraged to securely manage sensitive data and provide transparent voting records.

Disclaimer

This application is a demonstration and should not be used in real elections without further security and scalability considerations.
