In democratic countries such as India, voting is a fundamental right given to citizens of their countries. Citizens need to physically present and cast their vote in ballot-paper-based voting systems. Most of the citizens fail to fulfill this constraint and have stayed away from their fundamental duty.

This paper presents a security requirement analysis for e-voting systems and evaluates blockchain technology against these requirements.
