E-Voting Blockchain System

A decentralized e-voting system leveraging blockchain technology for transparent and secure voting. This project includes a React-based frontend, a Node.js backend, and smart contracts deployed on an Ethereum-based local blockchain using Ganache. The system ensures that every vote is recorded immutably, and user authentication is centralized with KYC, without storing wallet addresses.

Features

• Decentralized Voting: Secure and transparent voting process using blockchain technology.
• Centralized Authentication: User verification via KYC without storing wallet addresses, allowing decentralized voting after KYC is approved.
• Real-time Voting Results: Instant and immutable vote counts displayed using smart contracts.
• Admin Dashboard: Manage user verifications and oversee the voting process from a centralized admin interface.
