“…Cost evaluation is a testing approach in which writers assess the expenses associated with using their product. It is essential when the Blockchain platform is open to the public and employs a cryptocurrency such as Ethereum, where each action has a cost measured in gas [ 151 , 159 ] conducted three types of tests, while only [ 131 , 183 ] ran four types.…”

Electronic voting systems must find solutions to various issues with authentication, data privacy and integrity, transparency, and verifiability. On the other hand, Blockchain technology offers an innovative solution to many of these problems. The scalability of Blockchain has arisen as a fundamental barrier to realizing the promise of this technology, especially in electronic voting. This study seeks to highlight the solutions regarding scalable Blockchain-based electronic voting systems and the issues linked with them while also attempting to foresee future developments. A systematic literature review (SLR) was used to complete the task, leading to the selection of 76 articles in the English language from 01.01.2017 to 31.03.2022 from the famous databases. This SLR was conducted to identify well-known proposals, their implementations, verification methods, various cryptographic solutions in previous research to evaluate cost and time. It also identifies performance parameters, the primary advantages and obstacles presented by different systems, and the most common approaches for Blockchain scalability. In addition, it outlines several possible research avenues for developing a scalable electronic voting system based on Blockchain technology. This research helps future research before proposing or developing any solutions to keep in mind all the voting requirements, merits, and demerits of the proposed solutions and provides further guidelines for scalable voting solutions.

“…Such a system ensures that the coercer cannot be convinced of how a voter is voting, even if the voter cooperates with the coercer.

Today, the abstention rate continues to rise, largely due to the need to travel to vote. This is why remote evoting will increase the turnout by allowing everyone to vote without the need to travel. It will also minimize the risks and obtain results in a faster way compablack to a traditional vote with paper ballots. In fact, given the high stakes of an election, a remote e-voting solution must meet the highest standards of security, reliability, and transparency to gain the trust of citizens. In literature, several remote e-voting solutions based on blockchain technology have been proposed. Indeed, the blockchain technology is proposed today as a new technical infrastructure for several types of IT applications because it allows to remove the TTP and decentralize transactions while offering a transparent and fully protected data storage. In addition, it allows to implement in its environment the smart-contracts technology which is used to automate and execute agreements between users. In this paper, we are interested in reviewing the most revealing e-voting solutions based on blockchain technology.

“…Furthermore, confidentiality of the individual vote is a fundamental component of a voting system however default settings within blockchain do not fulfil this requirement. Consequently, recent efforts such as [41] have focused at achieving privacy-aware voting overlaying blockchain technology to fulfil this requirement. With respect to double utilization in e-voting, existing approaches rely on the assumptions that majority of computing resources are controlled by honest miners.…”

Blockchain is a disruptive technology that has been used to address a wide range of challenges in diverse domains including voting, logistics, healthcare and finance. Transaction malleability is one of the critical threats for blockchain, which can facilitate double-spending attacks by tampering with the state of a blockchain. This paper investigates the potential of transaction malleability attack within a blockchain-based application (e-voting) with the aim to identify settings which can lead to a successful transaction malleability attack. Therein, we aim to highlight conditions which can cause transaction malleability attack so as to help develop appropriate protection mechanisms. In particular, a successful execution of transaction malleability attack is presented which was conducted on a blockchain testbed hosting an e-voting application. The experiments identified significance of parameters such as network delay and block generation rate to successfully execute transaction malleability attack and have highlighted directions for future research.
