# Decentralized Voting System

This project presents an idea for a decentralized voting system made in React and using the Ethereum blockchain 

as the backbone to store information regarding the voting process.

The vote is represented as an **ERC721** token which is transferred to a candidate and consumed.

The system itself consists of four user roles:

- **Issuers** (issues votes)

- **Candidates**

- **A Contract Owner** (creates candidates and issuers)

- **Voters** (transfer votes to candidates)

 

The candidate itself cannot reuse the votes transferred to him and at the end of the voting process the candidate with the most tokens wins.

## Advantages of using a Blockchain for a voting system

- The voting process is transparent and clearly defined

- The double-spending of votes is not possible

## Disadvantages of using a Blockchain for a voting system

- Voter anonymity is compromised even though we use only a public address

- Each voting action costs ether

# Possible Improvements

- Holding Candidate data (E.g: CV, Candidate Vision Plan) on IPFS

- Mixing transactions or other procedures to offer voters better anonymity

- Multiple other improvements...
