Abstract: In response to the growing demand for more secure, transparent, and trustworthy voting systems, this study explores the application of blockchain technology as a transformative solution. The research delves into an extensive analysis of existing literature, case studies, and real-world implementations to highlight the significant advantages that blockchain offers for voting systems, including immutability, decentralization, and enhanced security. Moreover, a comprehensive approach is presented in responding to additional aspects of such systems as the ability to scale, the rule of anonymity and other regulation-related issues. Another novel aspect of this legislation includes a technique that aims to solve major challenges related to the issues of voters’ anonymity, data theft, and multiple voting. Our results demonstrate, however, that the true revolutionizing ability of blockchain in the electoral process is not in question but calls for various resources- technological, legal, and human-to enhance its implementation. This paper advances the debate on ways of updating the voting processes and sets a direction on what more needs to be done in terms of the research and technological development.
