Abstract

Research on blockchain technology in recent years has increased quality and quantity based on the Scopus database. In the government sector, digital transformation is carried out to meet the needs and demands of the organization in the pandemic period and the future. Data and information owned by the government are various. Blockchain, with its characteristics, becomes a very potential choice as a tool for managing data and information. This paper presents blockchain research in government using a systematic literature review method. From 30 selected articles, we classify the function of blockchain in the government sector and identify which government tasks are enhanced by blockchain. We discovered blockchain functions as data ownership, data protection, record keeping, data sharing, distributed innovations, point-to-point transmission, and local e-currency. We also identify that a blockchain-based e-voting system has many research areas in various countries regarding the community^s need for a fair and transparent electoral system
