This repository contains a Ballot smart contract implemented in Solidity, designed to facilitate a simple and secure voting system on the Ethereum blockchain. This contract enables users to propose candidates, delegate votes, and cast votes with transparency. Once successfully implemented, the voting process can be conducted using a mobile device connected to the blockchain.
- The chairperson (owner) can input multiple candidates' names to be voted on by the voters.
- Each voter is given the Right to Vote, and a weight can be assigned to their vote.
- A voter can only cast a single vote during an election.
- Candidate names are encrypted using Base32 throughout the voting process.
- The winner's name is decrypted and revealed at the end of the election.
- Remix IDE: Remix Ethereum IDE
