“…While these advantages may also be anticipated via eDV, its unique selling point is that it allows voters to cast ballots online without the need to visit a designated polling place. Thus, it offers the possibility of lessening the effort required to cast a vote, particularly for those who find it challenging to get to a polling place on election day, such as those who are physically disabled or reside in distant places (Ahmad, Rehman, Ayub, Alshehri, Khan, Hameed, & Yetgin, 2020;Aboelazm, 2023b;Kaudare, Hazra, Shelar, & Sabnis, 2020).…”

“…As well as long-term cost savings by saving time and reducing the costs of producing and distributing ballot papers. Not only will voters find it easier on Election Day, but they will also find it easier to trust a new system if they understand why it exists, the benefits it brings, and the various security measures that support the integrity of electronic elections (Kaudare, Hazra, Shelar, & Sabnis, 2020).…”

Purpose: This research investigates the e-voting system in the United Arab Emirates by comparing European countries such as the UK, Switzerland, and Netherlands experiences. Theoretical framework: The current research consists of an introduction and the definition of e-voting in addition to the advantages and risks of the e-voting system, no ultimate judgment, e-voting as a subject of structuration, legal and technical guarantees for e-voting, types, and techniques of e-voting, e-voting in Europe, and e-voting in the United Arab Emirates. Design/Methodology/Approach: It should be noted that descriptive and analytical methods have been adopted in this study, clarifying the concept of e-voting and then addressing the advantages and risks of e-voting, in addition to comparative approach has been used to compare European countries such as UK, Switzerland, and Netherland from one side, and the United Arab Emirates from the other side. Findings of the paper: The UAE has electronic voting systems that help empower people to vote from anywhere. Research, Practical & Social implications: We suggest using AI in election systems to enhance public participation, empower people, and facilitate people's voting to make it easy and fast. Originality/Value: We propose to create electronic systems for public procurement in the Emirates that do not have electronic systems for public procurement, in addition to continually introducing technical support to the employees to avoid mistakes and to enhance effectiveness and efficiency.

“…An alternative solution to the above problem is to develop a decentralized application consisting of peer-to-peer nodes forming a blockchain network to share the responsibility of maintaining the network data and code integrity [7], [29]. In a fully decentralized application model, each of the nodes in the blockchain network contains the code and the data [30], [31] as illustrated in Fig. 1.…”

<div>Abstract—Despite the various advantages inherent in the use of blockchain technology, blockchain application platforms are characterized by bottlenecks, latency, energy inefficiency, time inefficiency, low transaction throughput, vulnerability to 51% attacks, and a lack of fairness in the sharing of mining proceeds. These challenges are currently affecting the performance of this technology, hindering its rapid development and adoption for real-time applications such as Electronic Voting Applications (EVAs). It is well known that the consensus mechanism responsible for the security and consistency features of a blockchain, is also responsible for most of the above challenges.</div><div>In this paper, a new consensus mechanism, Proof of Vote (PoV) is proposed, a lightweight consensus mechanism specifically adapted for EVA, as a replacement for the heavyweight Proof of Work (PoW) consensus algorithm. We use the Ethereum blockchain as a decentralized application platform, in which we develop a decentralized electronic voting application (ADEVA), replacing the Ethereum PoW consensus algorithm with the proposed PoV consensus algorithm. Thus we implemented ADEVA with PoV and compared it to the two major consensus mechanisms: Proof of work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS). We found that PoV enhanced the performance of ADEVA over and above that achieved using PoW and PoS. The low resource utilization and high transaction throughput of ADEVA with PoV makes it a scalable solution for real-world EVAs.</div>

“…This is because for every block to be mined in a PoW consensus, all of the mining nodes are required to engage in intensive mathematical work and this consumes a tremendous amount of energy. Although the security of a decentralized application is partly credited to the PoW, the same PoW is also responsible for the high transaction fees, high latency, slow convergence, and scalability problems associated with most decentralized applications [14]- [16]. An efficient consensus mechanism has therefore been an ongoing area of research in blockchain technology which has led to the proposal of various consensus mechanisms.…”

The development of electronic voting applications remains an active area of research and this has led to the proposal and implementation of many models based on blockchains. However, most of the proposed models are partially decentralized solutions, in which the blockchain is used as a storage media for votes while the application is written in programming tools such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This makes them vulnerable to attacks such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, Single Point of Failure (SPF), and fraudulent record modification.In this paper, we propose a fully decentralized electronic voting application, SEVA, in which we placed the whole application (code and data) in Ethereum to protect the application from vulnerabilities. Additionally, we propose a new consensus algorithm, Proof of Smart Vote (PoSV) for SEVA, as a viable energy-saving alternative to the energy-intensive Proof of Work (PoW). We implemented and evaluated SEVA with PoSV and compared it with a partially decentralized model of the application.
