This API intends to initialize a voting system through distributed nodes and to allow the users to vote.

In order to build a binary run:

go build .

After your run the project, wheter using the binary or locally, it will check for the candidates.json file, which contains the voting information and which will be used to distribute the voting system through your nodes, this file should not be modified manually (a future version will verify the integrity of the file).

In case you don't have this file yet, you'll have two options:

1. Create a new system
2. Joining as a voting node to a previous system, to do so, you'll need to provide an url or a public ip to join the network.

Once the system is initialized, you'll be able to interact with the voting system.

You can add a vote by sending a transaction to the network.
