Abstract

Voting is an important element of a democratic system because it gives individuals the opportunity to
express their opinions about the people that represent them and matters that affect them. The traditional electoral
system that has existed for centuries has many shortcomings. Many cases of fraud, tampering, and errors have
brought the integrity of the system into question. The use of electronic voting systems can improve the efficiency,
convenience and security of voting. However, these systems face many challenges, including hacking, fraud, and
lack of voter trust. Blockchain technology, a distributed ledger that maintains records in a secure and transparent
manner, presents a possible solution to these problems. Blockchain-based electronic voting systems as developed in
this work can make online voting more secure, private and scalable, while providing end-to-end verification. We can
guarantee it. This study also provides an overview of designed blockchain-based electronic voting systems and
highlights various applications and methods used in their design. It also reveals the process it takes to design, how
different applications work, and how they interact.
