One area that might experience an immense transformation owing to the adoption of AI is the electoral system. Artificial intelligence (AI) holds tremendous potential for enhancing polls, campaign methods, and voter registration, but it also presents substantial challenges to the integrity of elections around the globe. This article discusses the political scene of 2024 and AI's role, balancing the pros and cons of AI deployment. Case studies of nations that have implemented AI for voting purposes are presented in the article, along with an analysis of the merits and disadvantages of these systems. The article goes on to warn of the perils of AI in elections and provides solutions to these concerns. It is of the most significant necessity to secure both the security and legitimacy of voting procedures, as the employment of artificial intelligence in elections is popular.
