This study systematically reviews 25 research articles on e-voting implementation across five Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and The Philippines. The review explores the challenges faced in e-voting implementation by these countries. It conducts a thematic analysis of the reviewed studies to identify the themes.
The review reveals that e-voting in the five Asian countries confronts significant implementation challenges. These are challenges in system security, electoral integrity, and public trust. The study identifies a critical need for advanced technological solutions such as blockchain and biometric verification to enhance e-voting system reliability. However, such reliability requires building public trust, ensuring secure technology, and establishing clear rules and guidelines by policymakers to address the challenges and establish a trustworthy electoral system.
