Visual cryptography (VC) is a technique in cryptography where visual information such as text, pictures videos, etc. can be encrypted in a prominent way that the decryption information is shown as a visual image. Electronic voting or e-voting is a process of voting that is done by the means of internet or electronic way as it becomes easy to caste, count and monitor the votes in an accurate, professional and also a scam free manner. Hereby this paper is a compared study of e-voting and VC. I came across a few interesting techniques that were involved and hence would be framing a survey and a review upon all the ongoing techniques. Further we can be using a fresh technique to implement the process. Techniques like cryptography, steganography and many other objectives are the most important ones that are put together for an important search and a survey.
