A Solidity based smart contract designed for a municipal corporation to issue tenders to various vendors after taking in votes for a constituency.

Various countries around the world suffer from governments and municipal corporations all around the country being corrupt and giving big contracts and tenders to partnering firms and vendors, resulting in corruption and medium/small firms getting pinned down because of the lack of connections, giving an unfiar advantage to partnering firms.

Sometimes, the issues to be fixed might not be well decided and gauged by the municipal corporations resulting in a low priority issue to be worked on for years, keeping the high priority issue unattended.

The contract addresses both these issues efficiently, implementing a trustless mechanism, for both problem statements. The votes are taken according to a constituency and the tender is awarded to the vendor with the lowest quotation.

The Election Officer is the main entity and the owner of the contract which first authorises every voter to vote for a particular issue. A voter has to go through multiple checks on whether or not he/she is authorised to vote and has voted before. The contract is designed to first take votes from the voters according to their constituency, the vote includes a choice from the pre listed issues, and a constituency.

After all votes are recorded, the mechanism for assigning a tender takes place where various companies and firms submit their quotation along with their company name and the constituency they work in. After each firm has deployed their quotation to the contract, the lowest quotation is selected and the contract is awarded.
