Algorand has unique features that have allowed several voting technologies to be invented, which provide an order of magnitude improvement over tradition voting machines and paper ballots. This research seeks to explain the basis for these different voting technologies and explore potential avenues for scalable adoption in elections. This is important because voting is a real use case, where Algorand provides a huge advantage in cost, performance, and efficiency to legacy systems. +With 2024 being an election year in the United States, voting security has never been a hotter or more important topic.

The article will be published in an open source database and on GitHub. ## Benefits for the community Increased Adoption: Scalable adoption of Algorand-based voting technologies in elections could serve as a powerful use case showcasing the capabilities of the Algorand blockchain. As governments and organizations witness the benefits of using Algorand for voting, there could be increased interest in adopting Algorand for other applications, such as supply chain management, identity verification, and financial transactions. This expanded adoption could lead to a larger user base and ecosystem growth for Algorand.
