Abstract: In recent years,electronic voting has been highly concerned because it can greatly improve the efficiency of voting activities and the accuracy of the results.The security problem has been the bottleneck of the development of electronic voting.Many researchers put forward relevant electronic voting schemes for a certain application function scenario.Combined with the academic research status of electronic voting,this paper analyzes the types,models and security requirements of electronic voting in detail,summarizes and analyzes four types of typical electronic voting schemes by combining blind signature,secret sharing and other related cryptography technologies,then introduces the mature electronic voting system,and finally this paper studies the possible development direction of electronic voting in the future,which provides reference for further optimization and improvement of electronic voting schemes.

Key words: Blind signature, Cryptography technology, Electronic voting, Secret sharing, Security requirements
