Youth participation in elections is declining, especially in India where the majority population is aged 20-25. The current offline voting system is inefficient, costly, and can lead to voter coercion. Voters need a secure, anonymous way to vote from home.

Electify leverages blockchain technology to create a decentralized online voting system. By connecting voters directly to their electoral ward's poll, the system reduces the number of nodes in the blockchain, minimizing gas fees for each transaction.

1. Blockchain Network Selection: Identifying suitable networks and private Ethereum account creation services that avoid real-life costs for each transaction. MetaMask, Polygon TestNet, Truffle, and Ganache were shortlisted.
2. Decentralization vs. Efficiency: Balancing Web3’s decentralized nature with the need for individual blockchain networks for each ward.

Utilizes Ethereum blockchain technology for managing transactions.

Incorporates the Polygon network to enhance Ethereum’s capabilities.
