Abstract :- In  a democratic country like India (which is the largest democracy in the world), voting plays a significant role in selecting government officials and showing our opinion on how the governing body to be formed. Blockchain platforms are already available, and many companies have already begun applying blockchains to their business. It is used in industry, but it can also be applied as a service and make voting more accessible. Online voting is an alternative to the old paper ballot system and the currently popular electronic voting machines (EVM). An electronic voting portal should offer security and integrity and the transparency of votes and voters' privacy. Therefore, NRIs and adult internet users can cast their ballots in a matter of seconds despite their location on the day of the election. This will be easy and more secure. In the current system, there's a high risk of false votes and damage to property. People don't want to stand in enormous queues and wait for a long time. Also, people who conduct the election have to follow a completely different procedure for voting, which takes more time, and there's no transparency. The paper also presents the state of the art of some blockchain frameworks for e-voting. This paper presents a literature review of the techniques used to tackle voting challenges.
