- Frontend: React.js for building the user interface.
- Backend: Node.js and Express.js for server-side logic.
- Database: MongoDB for storing user data, voting events, and results.
- Authentication: JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for user authentication.
- Real-time Updates: WebSocket for real-time communication between clients and the server.
- UI Framework: Material-UI for designing responsive and modern UI components.
