 Literature review
Paper 1

● E-Voting using Blockchain Technology

Abhishek Subhash Yadav, Ashish Uttamrao Thombare, Yash Vandesh Urade, Abhijeet Anil Patil
● The text refers to the International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology(IJERT).
Date of Publication:July-2020
● The paper emphasizes the use of blockchain technology, particularly Ethereum, for creating a secure,
transparent, and decentralized e-voting system.
● The system employs a model-view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern.
Key phases include registration, login, blockchain technology usage, database storage, Ethereum network integration, and
● result processing.
Solidity, a programming language, is used for writing smart contracts.
Advantages:
●
● Security: Blockchain technology is employed to address security concerns associated with digital
voting, aiming for a secure and transparent environment.
● Transparency: The system utilizes the transparency features of blockchain, allowing voters to verify their
●
votes using their public keys.
● Anonymity: Blockchain's decentralized and cryptographic nature is leveraged for anonymous voting.
Smart Contracts: The use of smart contracts on the Ethereum network is highlighted as a promising
● approach for building a secure and transparent e-voting system.
 Literature review
Paper 2

● Decentralized Application (DAPP) to enable E-voting system using Blockchain Technology

The authors of the research paper are mentioned as Harshita Garg, Vasvi Sharma, Mandeep Singh, and
● Megha Agarwal from the IT Department at HMR Institute of Technology and Management, Delhi, India.
● Date of Publication:
● The
2022system allows eligible voters to vote once, and a smart contract manages the list of valid voters.
● The user interface allows voters to cast their votes, and the process involves the use of Metamask for Ethereum
transactions.
Each vote is stored as a block in the blockchain, making it irreversible and permanent.
●
● The blockchain model consists of blocks connected through hashes.
Advantages:
●
● Increased security: Blockchain's cryptographic features provide a high level of security, making it difficult to
tamper with or hack the system.
● Transparency: Blockchain's decentralized nature ensures that all participants in the network have access
to the same data, promoting transparency in the voting process.
● Disadvantages:
Lack of awareness: One of the limitations mentioned is the lack of awareness about blockchain technology
● among the general population, which could hinder its widespread adoption.
Potential trust issues: Despite the security features of blockchain, gaining people's trust in electronic voting systems
● might be a challenge.
 Literature review
Paper 3

● Decentralized Voting Platform Based on Ethereum Blockchain

David Khoury, Elie F. Kfoury, Ali Kassem, Hamza Harb
● 2018 IEEE International Multidisciplinary Conference on Engineering Technology (IMCET)
Date of Publication:
● The paper describes the implementation of the proposed system using Solidity for smart contracts, NodeJS for the event
2018
management server, Web3js for interfacing with the Ethereum network, and Twilio for the SMS gateway. The system
● involves voter registration, event creation, and the actual voting process. The use of Ethereum's light client for mobile
applications is highlighted.
● The proposed system aims to overcome the limitations of existing solutions by enforcing data immutability, robustness,
decentralization of registration, and validation mechanisms, as well as ensuring privacy.
Advantages:
●
Enforcing voting data immutability and data integrity.
Ensuring robustness and reliability of the voting system.
Decentralizing the registration and validation mechanisms of voters.
● Providing transparency, clarity, and determinism in the voting environment.
Disadvantages:
The paper does not specify the scalability aspects of the proposed system.

 Literature review
Paper 4
● Blockchain Technology Application for Electronic Voting Systems
Valentin Sliusar, Pyotr Fyodorov, Aleksei Fyodorov, Vladislav Pascari, Aleksandr Volkov
● The text refers to the 2021 IEEE Conference of Russian Young Researchers in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
(ElConRus).
● Date of Publication:
The
2021authors present a smart contract algorithm for the proposed voting model, emphasizing its role in data organization and
storage within the Blockchain network.
●
● The structure of the proposed Blockchain voting involves users having a mobile-specific address space.
The model is not limited to electoral systems but extends to general meetings, conferences, and events requiring voting.
●
● It outlines the structure and components of a proposed remote electronic voting system based on Blockchain
technology.
● It focuses on aspects such as mobile-specific addresses, limited-time tokens, smart contracts, and the role of
Blockchain in ensuring security and transparency.
Advantages:
Complete security and protection against hacking are emphasized.
● Guarantees secrecy of the vote and openness of the procedure.
Use of Blockchain technology is expected to enhance cryptographic strength and transparency.
 Conclusion and Future Scope

The implementation of a voting app based on blockchain technology holds tremendous potential in addressing
●
longstanding challenges associated with traditional voting systems.
The proposed model leverages the decentralized and secure nature of blockchain to enhance transparency,
security, and flexibility in the voting process.
● By providing a mobile application for remote electronic voting, the system aims to increase voter turnout and
instill confidence in users.
Key strengths of the model include increased transparency through real-time result tracking, guaranteeing voter
anonymity, and ensuring the security and integrity of the voting data stored in the blockchain.
● The future scope involves promoting the widespread adoption of blockchain-based voting systems.
Governments and organizations should consider piloting projects and initiatives to test the
● feasibility and acceptance of such systems.
