Conducting fair and transparent elections is an integral part of any democratic country. Elections add more financial burden to the country as it includes more manpower, post voting security and counting of the same ballot papers. In electronic voting machines, all the process right from the conduction of elections, to providing security and counting votes, is seamless conduct without any hassle. So the biggest democratic countries like India also rely on Electronic voting machines, provided that the physical security of the voting machines has the same burden as of ballot papers. Securing the votes in the electronic voting machine is the most important task. Various techniques are implemented to secure the votes. Blockchain is one of the trending technology for securing the data in the distributed paradigm more efficiently. So this research paper provides a way to secure the post voting data using the reverse circle cipher technique. The whole process is powered by 16-byte hash keys obtained by processing the SHA 256 hashing algorithm and Bit mapping technology.
