It is pleasure to be part of this community.

I am doing University project, which is aiming to use blockchain technology to host and store voting event and then evaluate the security and performance. The plan I am thinking of is to get Ethereum source code and run it on virtual machines then create an application to act as an user which is trying to vote. I have some basic coding knowledge but can you guys give me some information of where to start, which tools to use, is it possible at all?

To run a local test version of Ethereum, use Ganache. http://truffleframework.com/ganache/

It will create you a running Ethereum blockchain and a few accounts out of the box, no config needed. It also tracks all transactions and creates logs. Very helpful indeed.

Caveat: at this precise moment in time, it is not super stable. But it should definitely serve the purposes of dev and testing!

running Ganache is fairly easy, another option is to run your own private ethereum blockchain with GETH

I did this same experiment on a VM and wrote a post about it hope it would help building a private ethereum blockchain
