Abstract
To elect the most qualified candidate, every democracy needs an open voting procedure that meets the needs of the people. The current voting procedures, however, have serious weaknesses and lack security and transparency. This survey research looks at the possible uses of BC technology in e-voting systems to improve the voting process and solve the issues of restlessness, privacy, and security. This study tries to evaluate several distributed electronic voting system implementations based on blockchain technology. While some have just existed as drafting papers, others have been implemented in the real world. An electronic voting system built on blockchain improves security and privacy while significantly lowering expenses. By outlining a case study involving the conduct of an election and the adoption of a blockchain-based application that increases security and decreases the cost of organizing a national election, we evaluate the potential of distributed ledger technology.
