VLSI Design and Implementation of Electronic Voting Machine

Abstract

In place of the ballot papers and boxes that were formerly used in traditional voting systems, an EVM, or electronic voting machine, is used to record votes. The fundamental right to vote, or simply the capacity to cast a ballot, is the cornerstone of democracy. Voters would mark the name of their favourite candidate with a stamp in prior elections, whether they were state or center elections, fold the ballot paper following the instructions, and then place it in the ballot box. This is a time-consuming, difficult, and error-prone operation. This arrangement persisted until computerized voting machines drastically altered the election scene. There is no longer a need for ballot paper, ballot boxes, stamping, etc. The electronic voting machine's ballot unit is a straightforward box. Biometric identifiers are thought to be more trustworthy than conventional token or knowledge-based approaches for person recognition since they cannot be readily lost, faked, or exchanged. Therefore, depending on contemporary technologies, such as the biometric system, the electronic voting system needs to be enhanced. This article offers a thorough analysis of voting devices, problems, and comparisons of various voting processes and biometric EVMs.
