Algovote

AlgoVote is an experiment of a de-centralized app based on Algorand that implements a decentralized voting system, made for learning purpose.

This DAPP allows users to vote for a candidate into a virtual election; this is only a starting point for future implementation.

Indeed it's only limited to:

• the deployment of the application on a local node of Algorand Blockchain
• the execution of an example voting transaction,
• the showing of the result of the elections,
• finally, the destroyment of the DAPP with the consequent elimination of the data associated with the user.
