Theoretically  mVoting is an excellent method for elections though it
is most widely used for polling or surveys..

mVoting for elections with a proven mID system is even more stronger
case but... there are issues regarding security of mobile
communications, transparency of the code / institutions,  digital
divide etc..

Estonia is an early example and a good one and perhaps Australian case
is more recent..

I don't know any comprehensive research on the topic but there is
definitely a need and would be interested to know about such research
too.
