      abstract = {Digital voting is becoming important for institutions that need quick, reliable and auditable decision-making. Conventional paper-based and centrally managed electronic voting methods can suffer from delayed counting, limited public verification, administrative dependency and doubts about record integrity. This paper presents a decentralized voting framework based on blockchain and Web 3.0 principles. The proposed approach records votes as protected ledger entries, applies digital identity for eligibility checks and uses smart contracts to support rule-based vote validation and counting. The study discusses the concept, literature background, research gap, methodology, layered architecture, technologies used, analysis, implementation challenges, ethical aspects, limitations and future scope. The paper concludes that blockchain can strengthen trust in voting when it is combined with privacy protection, simple user interfaces, scalable infrastructure and clear legal approval.},
