Abstract: Voting machines play a significant role in ensuring accurate, transparent, and secure elections. This paper analyses various voting machines that researchers have proposed from time to time in their research work. The study explores technological advancements, security features, voter accessibility, transparency, usability improvements, etc. By studying several research papers/ articles, voting machines are categorized into two main categories: those that are currently used in practice and those that have been proposed in the literature but not implemented physically yet. The categories of these machines are further sub-categorized according to various technologies used The present study is based on both patent literature and non-patent literature.
