“…Blockchain technology has the potential to enhance accuracy by creating a transparent and tamperproof record of all voting transactions. However, to achieve a reliable and credible evoting system, it is crucial to design a protocol that is fair, prevents double-voting, and avoids reliance on a central authority [81,82]. By developing and implementing robust cryptographic techniques, secure consensus algorithms, and comprehensive auditing mechanisms, blockchain-based e-voting systems can enhance accuracy, reliability, and credibility, ensuring the integrity and fairness of the electoral process [83,84].…”

The employment of blockchain technology in electronic voting (e-voting) systems is attracting significant attention due to its ability to enhance transparency, security, and integrity in digital voting. This study presents an extensive review of the existing research on e-voting systems that rely on blockchain technology. The study investigates a range of key research concerns, including the benefits, challenges, and impacts of such systems, together with technologies and implementations, and an identification of future directions of research in this domain. We use a hybrid review approach, applying systematic literature review principles to select and categorize scientific papers and reviewing the technology used in these in terms of the above key concerns. In the 252 selected papers, aspects such as security, transparency, and decentralization are frequently emphasized as the main benefits. In contrast, although aspects like privacy, verifiability, efficiency, trustworthiness, and auditability receive significant attention, they are not the primary focus. We observed a relative lack of emphasis on aspects such as accessibility, compatibility, availability, and usability in the reviewed literature. These aspects, although acknowledged, are not as thoroughly discussed as the aforementioned key benefits in the proposed solutions for blockchain-based e-voting systems, whereas the considered studies have proposed well-structured solutions for blockchain-based e-voting systems focusing on how blockchain can strengthen security, transparency, and privacy, in particular, the crucial aspect of scalability needs attention.
