Voting System using Block-Chain

A user can cast his vote by visiting this web platform. For web server scripting we have used python based web framework Django.

How to run

• Make sure you are connected to the internet.
• Install all the (pip) dependency packages (main packages are listed in requirements.txt).
• Locate EMAILADDRESS and EMAILPASSWORD variable in Election/settings.py file and assign your valid credentials. (See References)
• Make sure email sending is allowed (while development process sending email every time is not a good idea because API allows us to send email only for limited no. of times.).

​ For this make sure send_otp() method in views.py file looks like this:

...
[success, result] = sendemailotp(email_input)
[success, result] = [True, '0']
...

​ and get_parties() method in same file (views.py) looks like this:

...
sendemailprivatekey(request.session['email-id'], privatekey)
print(private_key)
...

• Locate manage.py file and run python manage.py runserver in the same directory.

• Locate the URL provided in the terminal and access that. by default it is http://127.0.0.1:8000.
