Paper Title
Usability and Accessibility of Blockchain E-voting Systems

Abstract
With the emergence of blockchain technology institutes have speculated that change is forthcoming in many sectors, electronic voting (or e-voting) is an area of particular interest [1], [5], [9], [11]. The three central ideas behind blockchain are decentralization, immutability, and transparency with the intention of creating an e-voting system that is a safe, reliable, and secure process while reducing fraud in a way that other traditional or electronic voting methods cannot do as well. However, in order for a blockchain-based e-voting system to be effective and democratic, it must be usable and accessible for the vast majority of eligible citizens, more than security only. This paper delves into the usability and accessibility in the context of blockchain e-voting systems. While the papers extensively cover the security and privacy aspects, they also shed light on the of ten-overlooked but critical factors of how real users interact with these complex systems. This deep dive will explore the definitions, challenges, current state (e.g., the Moscow internvoting experiment detailed in [4]), and future directions of usability and accessibility, as tailed in the provided literature (e.g., academic prototypes in [5], [11]), to paint a complete picture of this vital aspect of e-voting technology. This survey also leverages insights from comprehensive reviews of blockchain-based e-voting systems [1], [9], and studies on security and privacy in smart city e-voting applications [3].
