Abstract:

E-voting is an innovative strategy that empowers citizens to vote for preferred candidates through secure electronic platforms. Implemented across various countries, e-voting systems are tailored to meet specific national requirements. This paper introduces a distinctive approach to the e-voting process, incorporating rigorous verification from government servers and a reliable authentication mechanism to ensure the integrity and security of both e-voting machines and voters’ choices. The system employs a Specialized Security Key Algorithm to provide robust security for voters and the e-voting infrastructure. Python and SPSS were used to analyze data and validate security measures, while MS Excel was used to organize and visualize the data. The likelihood of communication channel breaches between the system’s central server and the e-voting machines is minimized, eliminating significant data breach risks. By adhering to a carefully crafted architectural approach, this system enhances efficiency and achieves superior accuracy and throughput levels, outperforming other e-voting systems. The core methodologies employed in the system comply with stringent security standards and protocols, with all analyses and simulations verified through tools like Python, SPSS, and Excel. This architectural approach significantly elevates the security framework of the e-voting system, making the entire process more secure, reliable, and tailored to modern democratic needs.
