Security based Electronic Voting Machine using Xilinx tool

Abstract

Electronic voting machines are primary need in a democratic society to avoid rigging in the election process. Earlier in the age-old method, ballot papers are used for voting where there is a lot of scope for hindrance of the voting process. In this paper, we have considered a digital electronic voting system which is designed using VHDL coding in Xilinx tool. Venable switch is provided to start the voting process. 3 contestants are considered in the election process namely party0, party1 and party2. Vswitch is a 2-bit signal used to choose the contestant by the voter to vote for him/her. If venable is not activated and voter tries to vote, the invalid signal is given which indicates vote is not taken unless venable is activated. This digital electronic voting system provides privacy for voters as well as safe, secure and integrity in voting process.
