Abstract
The world’s largest democracy has adopted electoral reforms in Assembly as well as Parliamentary elections. Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) has replaced the paper ballot system. However, there are serious concerns being raised with regards to the credibility and reliability of the EVM’s. This resulted in Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) being attached to the EVM, which was found to be unverifiable and non-auditable. The primary focus of this paper is to provide a comparison between Ballot Paper Voting System and EVM highlighting the various challenges of the existing electoral system. This paper provides an insight into Block chain technology, its impact and revolution it can bring in the field of Electoral reforms in India. The comparison parameters like Time, Cost, Transparency, Risk factor, Verification/Auditing process, Authentication etc. are considered for evaluation of the different methodology discussed.
