Blockchain-based voting system: a systematic literature review

Abstract

Democratic elections are a cornerstone of modern society, enabling citizens to exercise their right to vote and express their preferences for political leaders and policies. However, traditional voting systems have faced numerous challenges in recent years, including allegations of fraud, hacking, and misinformation. To address these challenges, many countries have started exploring new technologies that can help secure and modernize the voting process. One such technology is blockchain, a decentralized and tamper-proof database that allows multiple parties to maintain a shared ledger without the need for a central authority. By providing a transparent and immutable record of all transactions, blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we conduct elections, making them more secure, transparent, and efficient. In this paper, we will explore the benefits and challenges of using blockchain technology in voting systems.
