Abstract

The digital polling and e-voting systems are the main reasons that have led to the development of this type of systems. We have presented an all-inclusive real-time voting platform based on the MERN stack, which consists of MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js.This project has able to handle massive traffic with excellent responsiveness. The users can effortlessly and graphically view the real-time results through charts, polls, and managing different polls. AI-based opinion mining is another tool that helps the platform in delivering more accurate insights. It keeps on playing a significant role in the sentiment classification as well as refining the trends based on the feedback given. Blockchain technology is an additional factor that assures security and trustworthiness regarding the certified votes and even if it is later embraced, it can turn out to be an extremely powerful security technique. The real-time updates are carried out via Web Socket communication, which ensures that all users have the latest counts and results at their disposal. Community polling is one more attribute of this platform which simplifies the process of getting the most accurate feedback among schools, business groups, and other user-based communities. This platform is not only a fortress but also an ingenious way of interacting with users, and it not only gets rid of the limitations of existing e-voting systems but also offers constructive feedback that aids in the decision-making process by making it more efficient.
