This manuscript discusses the potential of blockchain technology in electronic voting systems. It begins by examining previous studies and experimentation with e-voting, particularly in Estonia, Switzerland, and Norway. The manuscript highlights the success of e-voting in Estonia and Switzerland, but also acknowledges the discontinuation of e-voting in Norway due to security concerns and lack of impact on abstention rates. It emphasizes the need for national-scale testing of e-voting in actual settings, which is currently lacking in blockchain-based solutions. The manuscript then delves into the legal and political concerns associated with electronic voting. It discusses the fundamental legal standards that any electronic voting system must adhere to, including inclusivity, impartiality, non-restriction, and secrecy. It recognizes the challenges of ensuring fairness, unique votes, and voter authentication in electronic voting compared to traditional paper voting. The manuscript also highlights the importance of confidentiality and how blockchain technology can address this requirement.
