Title: Navigating the Challenges of Writing a Literature Review for an Online Voting System Project

Embarking on a project related to online voting systems entails delving into a realm that demands
meticulous research and critical analysis. A crucial component of this journey is crafting a literature
review that not only synthesizes existing knowledge but also contributes valuable insights to the
discourse. However, the process of composing a literature review for such a project is often fraught
with challenges, requiring careful navigation to ensure its effectiveness.

One of the primary hurdles encountered in writing a literature review for an online voting system
project lies in the vast and diverse landscape of existing literature. Navigating through a myriad of
academic papers, reports, and scholarly articles can be a daunting task, requiring a discerning eye to
identify relevant sources amidst the abundance of information.

Furthermore, ensuring the credibility and reliability of the chosen sources poses another significant
challenge. With the proliferation of online resources, distinguishing between credible research and
dubious sources becomes imperative. As such, researchers must exercise caution and employ rigorous
criteria to evaluate the authenticity and validity of the literature included in their review.

Beyond the sheer volume and authenticity of sources, synthesizing the information into a coherent
narrative presents its own set of difficulties. Organizing the multitude of ideas, theories, and findings
into a structured framework requires careful planning and meticulous attention to detail. Crafting a
narrative that effectively contextualizes the existing knowledge while highlighting gaps and areas for
further exploration demands both analytical prowess and creative finesse.

Moreover, maintaining objectivity and avoiding bias in the interpretation of the literature is
paramount. Researchers must strive to present a balanced perspective, acknowledging differing
viewpoints and controversies within the field. This necessitates a critical approach that scrutinizes
the strengths and limitations of each study, fostering a nuanced understanding of the topic.

alternative to conventional electronic voting systems with features such as decentralization, non-
repudiation, and security protection. So as the number of transactions grow the hash of the new
transaction is added to the hash of existing transactions essentially making it in the form of a chain.
In this technique, counter-measurement assaults constitute a significant issue. Unfortunately, their
proposed system is not strong enough to secure from DoS attacks because there was no third-party
authority on the scheme responsible for auditing the vote after the election process. However, UK
citizens may live as far away as New Zealand, for example, and postal voting packs can be sent out
as little as 7-10 days before polling day. Windows, Linux server and is compatible with various
hardware. According to the above stated features we selected PHP as the front-end for developing
our project. Blockchain creates a series of blocks replicated on a peer-to-peer network. They have
also made modifications to the code-based Niederreiter algorithm to make it more resistant to
quantum assaults.
As a result, electronic voting systems should initially be implemented in limited pilot areas before
being expanded. That is why one of the desired properties of an online voting system is coercion
resistance. A consensus algorithm is used to reach an agreement on blockchain data that is fault-
tolerant in the presence of malicious actors. An easy way to refine and prove the same quality of

that registered voters will abstain without problems or encourage others to cast their legitimate votes
for themselves. Voter registration, authentication, voting, and tallying must be incorporated in the
electronic voting systems Figure 6. Online voting tools and online election voting systems assist you
in making important decisions by collecting your group's input in a systematic and verifiable manner.
On the other hand, voting on the blockchain will be an encrypted piece of data that is fully open and
publicly stored on a distributed blockchain network rather than a single server. Another advantage
for the voter is that there is no ambiguity in interpreting an electronic vote. But this can be present in
future when this technology becomes cheap. In this phase, verification and validation are used. Also
discussed in this chapter are the limitations of the study and finally, the assumptions made.
Implementation of Auditable Blockchain Voting System with Hyperledger Fabric. As a consequence
of this study, it was discovered that blockchain systems may help solve some of the issues that now

providing both unreusability and voter anonymity is tricky. Once the digital election has come to a
close, the agency will provide a tabulation of results with additional analyses upon request. It has
great potential to decrease organizational costs and increase voter turnout. Now if the voter wants to
verify his vote is cast to the correct candidate, using his digital signature and 2 factor authentication
he can request from the app to know the serial number of the candidate he has voted. What’s most
important to you, efficiency, accuracy, or transparency. The great thing about smart contracts is that
anybody who can set up a blockchain node can verify its outcome. As a single ballot is never
decrypted, the decryption result will not show if more than one option was chosen or if the poll was
formed so that it was treated as ten choices (or a million) at once. Using computers, they would be
the one to tally and transmit the votes without human intervention. But with online voting, they can
see the results in real-time, making them feel more engaged in the process. A smart contract itself is
nothing more than a piece of logic written in code. Finally, I wish to say thanks to all Faculties of
