Blockchain is a list of records called blocks which are linked through the use of cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. A summary of the all transactions are kept in a mekle tree root hash and stored as part of the header of a block. By design blockchain is highly resistant to modification of data. The case study uses blockchain technology to deploy a digital voting system and tries to provide a more decentralized approach to digital voting
