One of the biggest challenges in political mayhem is visible during the election process where no stone is kept unturned in order to gain the power. Further, due to poll violence and waiting in the long queues to cast their votes, numbers of common citizens avoid the voting process completely in order to evade the chaos. In order to reduce these issues or to increase the voting rate, number of smart based or IoT enabled voting applications has been projected by various authors. However, IoT devices can be easily compromised or hacked by the experts (intruders) in order to gain their own access. Therefore, to ensure an enhanced secure and transparent polling process, Blockchain plays a vital role in ensuring the legit votes and their counting without their manipulation in any way. It is also needed in today’s times where the world is available to people in their IoT or smart devices to also give them the opportunity to register their votes hassle free via their smart devices without having to worry about the system getting hacked. Therefore, in this paper, the proposed layout will be based on an enhanced security through Blockchain in E-voting application using IoT devices where the user will create an account with proper verification done via voter id and other biometric methods on a smart device. Every transaction done via this account which in this case will be registering vote will be validated by a miner. The proposed Blockchain mechanism for E-polling using IoT devices is again validated and verified through several parameters such as response time, resource utilization and request processed.
... Consequently, it is difficult to identify which aspects of the electoral process can benefit most from introducing ICTs to improve the quality and credibility of elections. A survey of the literature suggests that existing studies tend to focus on a few key areas, including biometric registration and identification (Debrah, Effah, and Owusu-Mensah 2018;Yakubu and Adjei 2014;Tilwani et al. 2013;Gold 2012;Wildes 1997), electronic voting (Wang et al. 2018;Simpson and Storer 2017;García 2016;Krimmer 2012;Lee et al. 2010;Khasawneh et al. 2008;Riera and Brown 2003;Jorba et al. 2003), Internet voting (Vassil et al. 2016;Krimmer et al. 2007;Gibson et al. 2016;Germann and Serdult 2017;Serdult et al. 2015;Goodman 2014;Saglie and Segaard 2016;Stockemer 2018), touch-screen voting (Card and Moretti 2007), and electronic tabulation. Most of the studies either point out the benefits and risks of using ICTs or propose a new system design (AboSamra et al. 2017) (2014), also corroborates these findings. ...
... Academic research concerning the effectiveness of election technologies remains mixed. Some studies (Callen et al. 2016;Bertot et al. 2010;Khasawneh et al. 2008) contend that ICTs can augment the integrity of elections by addressing the issues of fraud and inaccuracy in voter registration and authentication processes. Bertot et al. (2010, 264) argue that ICTs are seen by many governments as a ''cost-effective and convenient means to promote openness and transparency and to reduce corruption.' ' Shim and Eom (2009) argue that ICTs increase the efficacy of internal and managerial oversight over corruption and improve accountability and transparency. ...
... The main contention arises from the fact that the software in some technology components does not allow thirdparty verification. Khasawneh et al. (2008) note that biometric systems' data flows are vulnerable to manipulation and security breaches if they are not properly shielded, and they identify two critical components associated with the problems: functional (embedded design of the software) and nonfunctional (robustness, correctness, consistency, and coherence). ...

Voting is vital part of democratic country as it allows citizen to choose their own government. Government plays important role in progress of each country. Result of election is good if most of the people votes. In today's digital world, it is necessary to have secure online voting system at place which will save voter's time and motivate citizen to vote. Secure authentication is the main issue in online voting system. The authentication module should allow authentic voter to cast their vote. Even though secure authentication is provided, someone having access to authentication database may use it to get authentic entry into the system. Research in this paper shows new and secure authentication module which provides confidentiality to authentication database so that no one can use the authentication database to pass through the system. We have achieved this using PIN based image secret sharing.

The Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) is used to record the vote cast by the public instead of ballot papers used in traditional voting system. EVM is a simple device that is operated easily by the polling officers and the voters. Some of the citizens are not able to present at the day of election due to some valid reasons or due to outstation. A new system is being proposed in this paper to increase the percentage of voting called e-voting system which helps the people who are not able to come to their respective polling booth on the day of election due to valid reasons. In this system there are three sections namely polling section, poll monitoring section and counting section. The polling section consists of a login page, data base submission page, authentication page and voting page. The name and voter id is entered in the login page which will open the database submission page. After submission of required details, authentication page will open for proper authentication of the voters by the polling officer through video streaming and permitted to cast their vote. The voting page will open for the user to cast their vote and it is stored in secured server with encryption techniques to avoid the hackers to made attempt to alter the stored votes. On the day of counting, the stored votes will be retrieved from the server by authorized person to add along with votes stored in the EVM for the particular constituency to finalize the result.
... A study conducted by Khasawneh et al. [16] proposed an idea of multifaceted online e-voting system with combined biometric authentication like fingerprint, facial recognition, iris scanning etc. In this model, electronic ballot paper with multiple scope was introduced and computer simulations were run to test the robustness and accuracy. ...
In this modern age of digitization, Bangladesh Election Commission (EC) still uses manual system during election for vote casting. Recently, it is considering to introduce Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) in parliamentary elections though EVM is not entirely automated and has many limitations. In this work, we have designed an automated biometric voting system with a convenient user interface and integrated database system containing all voters’ information. Casted votes will be counted automatically at the end of the voting process and result will be generated centrally with less time. Therefore, the proposed system will improve the voting management of Bangladesh by ceasing fraudulent activities, corruptions, ensuring security, transparency, fairness, accuracy and keeping backup trails of voting process.

Fingerprint Voting System was implemented with the Arduino technology. In this System a voter can poll his vote easily. In this database server all voters' information was stored to register in this system, the voter should fill a registration form with the help of a user id and password. This information will be checked by the database server. Because all the information about the voter would be already there is anything wrong, the system will not allow the voter to poll his or her vote. This system is helpful to the voter's decreases the time of voting process also. It is more Secured way. Fingerprint is an important identity of the user. Fingerprint Voting System is user-friendly. It has simple architecture, responses very quickly manner, It reduce the polling time, Easy to carrying to polling center from the polling box, Reduce the staff of voting center, It provide easy and accurate counting without any troubles.
... Due to worldwide advancements in computer and telecommunication technologies and the underlying infrastructures, electronic voting (e-voting) is no longer a North American or Western phenomenon. This high technological method of casting a ballot has spread far beyond the United States, expanding throughout the entire world [1]. E-Voting, along with its benefits and mishaps, can now be found from the developed countries of Europe to the developing countries of Asia and Africa. ...
