Our project is a decentralized college president election platform built using Solidity, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

By leveraging the power of blockchain technology and the Ethereum network, we have created a transparent and secure system for conducting college president elections.

To run the Decentralized College President Election locally on your machine, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository :

    git clone https://github.com/sandeshchh30/Decentralized-College-President-Election.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory :

    cd Decentralized-College-President-Election
   

3. Install Dependencies :

    npm install
   

4. Configure Truffle :

    truffle init
   

5. Paste the Voting.sol file under contracts folder

6. Under migration folder make a new file named 1_vote_migration.js and write :

    const myContract = artifacts.require("Vote");
   
    module.exports = function (deployer){
    	deployer.deploy(myContract);
    }
   

7. Paste your metamask MNEMONIC in .env file

8. Configure the truffle-config.js file (Ex. Deploying in matic network)

    require('dotenv').config();
    const HDWalletProvider = require('@truffle/hdwallet-provider');
    const MNEMONIC = process.env.MNEMONIC;
    
    module.exports = {
    	networks: {
    		matic: {
    			provider: () => new HDWalletProvider(MNEMONIC, `https://rpc-mumbai.maticvigil.com`),
    			network_id: 80001,       // network id
    			confirmations: 2,    // # of confirmations to wait between deployments. (default: 0)
    			timeoutBlocks: 200,  // # of blocks before a deployment times out  (minimum/default: 50)
    			skipDryRun: true     // Skip dry run before migrations? (default: false for public nets )
    	 	},
    	}
    	
    }
   

9. Then, Depoly the Contract using

    truffle migrate --network matic
   

10. Lastly Under build/contracts/Vote.json Copy the abi and Contract address and Paste it in index.js and admin.js

11. Now you are Good to go and Vote

• Note: Make sure you have MetaMask installed in your browser and switch to the appropriate Ethereum network (e.g., mumbai) to interact with the smart contract.
