Creating an environment to fulfill the basic requirement of E-Voting is indeed a challenge for long time. Blockchain, distributed peer to peer technology has wide range of applications from financial to non-financial sectors. It can be utilized in E-Voting system as well. Electronic casting a ballot or e-casting a ballot has been in existence since seventies. The E-Voting system and its requirements are identified in this paper along with some limitations of the Blockchain in E-Voting system. The blockchain has obvious advantages of increased efficiency, increased productivity and less prone to error over paper based voting system. This paper presents the potential benefits of using the blockchain which can effectively be used in e-casting the votes. The proposed model is based on the fundamental requirements of e-casting to the verification of voters. The limitations of the blockchain with regards to E-Voting is also presented in this paper.
