Paper Title
VOTING APPLICATION USING NEAR BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

Abstract
Abstract - Blockchain technology provides a safe and trans- parent platform for voting procedures. This paper describes the creation of a JavaScript blockchain voting application utilizing the NEAR Protocol. To create a dependable and auditable voting system, Our project makes use of NEAR’s decentralized infrastructure, smart contracts, and developer tools. This article describes Our project’s design, implementation stages, and ca- pabilities, highlighting its potential for improving the integrity and accessibility of voting processes. Online voting does not need the use of ballots and setting up polling stations, while online voting is very convenient and requires just an internet connection, it is vied skeptically because a single flaw can change all the voting data and lead to erroneous results. Online voting applications should be safe and convenient to use and should produce accurate results abiding the law. Adoption might be limited, though, by potential problems with electronic voting machines. Due to the advantages of end-to-end verification, blockchain technology was created to address these issues. It currently offers decentralized nodes for electronic voting and is used to build electronic voting systems[1]. This technology is a great alternative to conventional electronic voting systems since it has distributed, non-repudiation, and security protection aspects. Blockchain technologies would be helpful in alleviating some of the issues now affecting electoral systems. Blockchain based applications have concerns related to transaction speed so to make a Dapp scalable its transaction speed and privacy protection must be addressed. It was acknowledged that the present frameworks needed to be improved before they could be utilized in voting systems as a result of these issues[2]. NEAR has the capacity to manage several concurrent users while maintaining low latency and high throughput. According to the study’s findings, creating a voting app for the JS blockchain utilising NEAR has a lot of potential to increase the legitimacy and accessibility of democratic procedures. This study adds to the expanding amount of information on blockchain-based voting systems and offers suggestions for further study and advancement in this area.
