People are thinking about using voting systems instead of the old way of voting with paper. This is because electronic voting systems can be faster, easier to use and cheaper. However the electronic voting systems we have now are not very good at keeping votes transparent. For example all the votes are stored in one place, which makes it easy for someone to cheat. We also do not have a way to make sure the person voting is who they say they are.. When you vote you do not get any proof that your vote was counted. This paper looks at all the ways electronic voting systems work now including how they use biometrics like facial recognition to identify voters. We also look at how blockchain technology can help keep votes. Based on what we found out we propose a system called BlockVote. BlockVote uses something called Ethereum blockchain to keep votes safe. It uses facial recognition to make sure the person voting is who they say they are. It also has a way to check if a person is eligible to vote and it gives you a receipt when you vote so you can make sure your vote was counted. The BlockVote system will use a lot of tools, including React.js, Node.js and MongoDB Atlas. We will also use something called Solidity to create contracts and we will use a library called face_recognition to help with facial recognition. This paper shows how all these different tools can work together to create an transparent electronic voting system. We hope that our system can help fix the problems with voting systems that we have now. Electronic voting systems like BlockVote can be very helpful. We think our system is a good step in the right direction, for electronic voting systems.
