Voting is a democratic activity that has been utilized over the years as an important means of expressing ideas and conversations among people in democratic countries. This article aims to facilitate and safeguard the voting process by creating a confident online voting system for voting and referendums. With blockchain technology, users' data is secured from theft, and Eavesdropping and voting disturbance is prevented from ensuring voting integrity. The blockchain encrypts votes to safeguard all votes against falsification. This approach is not only aimed at governments but at all public and private entities. For example, governments can hold referendums or elections, and anybody with a legal age and a government voting card can vote. This eliminates the old procedures and eliminates ballot boxes, sticks in the long lineups, and delays, which cost governments a lot of time, effort, and money. Any organization or private company that wants to conduct polls or surveys or to collect opinions from society may easily utilize this method to contact them. The approach helps the authorities concerned to achieve outcomes promptly without delay, bearing in mind variations between government and commercial organizations.
