Survey On Secure E-Voting Platform

Abstract

E-voting systems are increasingly being explored with the aim of taking over from traditional paper-based voting and may offer several advantages, including efficiency, accessibility, and cost-cutting. These systems include DRE machines, internet-based voting, to even blockchain-enabled voting solutions. However, this shift toward e-voting is attended by a raft of significant hurdles on security, secrecy in voting, dependability of the systems, and scalability. This survey paper covers the current status of e-voting systems and related work and literature regarding the design, implementation, and evaluation. These topics will range from security vulnerabilities regarding DRE and Internet voting to privacy and anonymity concerns with respect to maintaining confidentiality of voters, accessibility and usability of e-voting platforms for the diverse voter population, and the increasingly emerging blockchain technology that provides secure and transparent processes toward voting. The survey underlines important gaps in present research and points to a number of future directions that might help in building up integrity, transparency, and trustworthiness in e-voting systems. In overcoming the challenges lying ahead, e-voting has the potential to significantly improve democratic processes and enhance voter participation.
