Abstract One of the major causes of election violence is the incompetent existing voting methodologies including the paper and ballot as well as e-voting systems. Electronic voting was suggested as an alternative in order to overcome some of the major shortcomings of the paper and ballot system including the huge manpower required for vote counting. But along with solving such challenges, the e-voting systems raise humongous security threats that may lead to vote tampering and other issues like revealing the identity of the voter. This chapter suggests voting systems based on blockchain as a better alternative to the existing e-voting systems as they would solve the major concerns of the traditional e-voting systems. The decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain will prevent any kind of mischievous activity conducted with the objective of vote tampering as well as it would also protect the anonymity of the user. This chapter provides detailed information on the blockchain concept along with its features and types. This chapter also discusses a few of the major consensus algorithms being frequently utilized in different blockchain networks. Further, the major challenges faced by existing voting methodologies have been addressed and then this chapter explains that integrating the e-voting systems with blockchain technology can help overcome most of these challenges. This chapter concludes that the decentralized voting system using blockchain is the future of e-voting. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
