Abstract

The purpose of this report is to highlight every step I followed in the creation of the Evote application which is a general electronic voting system built with blockchain technology built by Near Protocol. The report also contains information about how I managed to achieve all the goals I set out at the beginning of the project, as well as testing methodologies I used to validate these goals.

First of all, I broke down all the application’s features into use cases that contain a visualization and description of how the respective feature is intended to work, how the system manages the process, what errors may occur during the process, and how they (errors) are being handled.

Evote's main function is to allow a designated user to create a voting poll and post it on the main page where any users can vote. The application uses the NEAR blockchain technology to ensure that a poll can not be altered and under any circumstances a user can not vote more than once for the same poll. The application also provides a live voting results feature that will allow any users to see the results of a poll at any time during the voting phase.

In conclusion, I believe that even if I had to modify some concepts from my initial proposal, the final result of the project was a complete success and I would recommend the blockchain technology to any enterprise that wants to upgrade the safety of their internal online infrastructure.
