Abstract

The study investigated the feasibility of using smart technology to conduct the electoral process in Jordan and Algeria. The study highlighted the need for an electoral system that ensures the integrity of elections and instils confidence among individuals in their governments. The aim of the study is to explain the features of smart voting and the major obstacles to its implementation, as well as to clarify the key requirements for individuals and countries to adopt electronic voting, including both legislative and technical aspects. As a result of the study, several key findings emerged. Firstly, there are no constitutional or legislative provisions related to the use of smart technologies in the electoral process in Jordan and Algeria. Secondly, it is not possible to apply a particular method of smart elections in a particular country absolutely, as the method that suits one country may not be suitable for another country that lacks the necessary infrastructure and funding to implement it.
