### Literature Review The increasing interest in blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) over the past few years has sparked significant research and development across various fields. The inherent promise of a secure data storage environment has attracted the attention of individuals and institutions alike, leading to generous investments in technologies primarily associated with finance and cryptocurrency. However, the potential applications of these technologies extend far beyond the financial sector. One critical area that has recently garnered attention is the integrity of electoral processes. The tampering of vote counting represents a significant challenge to democratic systems worldwide, undermining public trust and the legitimacy of elections. Various researchers and organizations have begun exploring the use of blockchain and other DLTs as a means to enhance the security and transparency of voting systems. This research focuses specifically on the development of a distributed ledger system that employs a permissioned consensus algorithm designed to create a tamper-proof voting mechanism. By leveraging the unique characteristics of blockchain technology, this approach aims to provide a secure environment for electoral processes, ultimately contributing to more trustworthy voting outcomes. Through a systematic examination of existing literature, we aim to understand the current landscape of blockchain applications in voting and identify key challenges and opportunities for future research in this crucial area.
