This platform uses Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.4 microservices, Angular 22, and Gemma 4 multimodal AI to ensure double-voting prevention, cryptographic ballot sealing, and multilingual voter assistance. The key challenges of local body elections, such as paper ballot inefficiencies, double-voting risks, and information asymmetry, are addressed by CivicGemma through these innovative solutions.",
