For e-voting to develop further open, transparent, and independently auditable, a possible resolution would be base it on blockchain technology. In this research work to proposed technique for voting system using blockchain. The blockchain will be publicly provable and distributed in a method that no one will be intelligent to corrupt it. In this research work proposed a blockchain-based model with Consensus Protocol and SHA256 hash algorithm related with the priorities of the ballot-privacy, veri?ability, suitability, extensiveness, uniqueness, sturdiness, and coercion- resistance.
