Blockchain Powered E-Voting With Ai-Based Facial Recognition And Multi-Factor Authentication

Abstract

The integrity of democratic voting systems is increasingly threatened by security vulnerabilities, lack of transparency, and trust deficits, making electoral processes susceptible to manipulation. To address these concerns, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) introduces a blockchain-powered voting framework that leverages the Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus protocol to enhance security and decentralization. To further fortify the system, ResNet-101, a deep learning-based convolutional neural network (CNN), is integrated for facial recognition authentication, ensuring voter legitimacy and eliminating identity fraud. Additionally, one-time password (OTP) authentication and live location tracking strengthen the system against unauthorized access and proxy voting. By combining blockchain technology, biometric verification, and AI-driven facial authentication, BSC establishes a highly secure, transparent, and tamper-proof voting system. This approach aims to restore public trust in electoral processes, setting a new benchmark for secure and verifiable digital voting systems in democratic governance.
