In recent years end-to-end verifiable voting (E2EVV) has emerged as a
promising new paradigm to conduct evidence-based elections. However, E2EVV
systems thus far have primarily been designed for the developed world and the
fundamental assumptions underlying the design of these systems do not readily
translate to the developing world, and may even act as potential barriers to
adoption of these systems. This is unfortunate because developing countries
account for 80\% of the global population, and given their economic and
socio-political dilemmas and their track record of contentious elections, these
countries arguably stand to benefit most from this exciting new paradigm. In
this paper, we highlight various limitations and challenges in adapting E2EVV
systems to these environments, broadly classed across social, political,
technical, operational, and human dimensions. We articulate corresponding
research questions and identify significant literature gaps in these
categories. We also suggest relevant strategies to aid researchers,
practitioners, and policymakers in visualizing and exploring solutions that
align with the context and unique ground realities in these environments. Our
goal is to outline a broader research agenda for the community to successfully
adapt E2EVV voting systems to developing countries
