Abstract

The blockchain technology has been showing promising application opportunities since its beginnings. Blockchain was introduced to many areas from the original cryptocurrency to the present smart contract. By examining famous blockchain schemes, we perform a systematic study of the safety threats to blockchain and how this blockchain concept can be applied to the current voting system in India. We also review this blockchain voting system’s safety and stability against fraud. We also propose some future directions for stimulating study attempts in this field.
