A systematic literature review of blockchain-based E-Voting
This paper aims to identify, analyze, and organize the literature on the applications of blockchain technology in electronic/online voting, as well as provide insights for future research. This study tries to show the most important applications of blockchain in e-voting and identify the most important e-voting challenges that blockchain offers a solution to them. This study follows the method of Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to analyze the existing literature on blockchain integration with e-voting. In this study, 30 articles from conferences and journals between 2017 and May 2021 were reviewed. It seems that the integration of blockchain with e-voting is in the early stages of its operation and researchers and experts are not fully aware of the potential of blockchain for e-voting. The most important results of merging or using blockchain for e-voting are voter privacy protection, anonymity, security increase, and voting system reliability. But on the other hand, there are serious discrepancies among researchers in terms of the cost-efficiency and scalability of blockchain-based voting systems. The limitations of this study are mainly due to the scarcity of studies on the applications of blockchain for e-voting (large-scale) in journals and conferences, as well as information on private-university projects that are implementing their idea is not available.
