Design and Implementation of Smart Electronic Voting Machine Using FPGA

Abstract

Voting machines are implemented by using different techniques like Arduino microcontroller. This paper proposes FPGA based Electronic voting machines. EVMs are combination of electromechanical equipment (including hardware and software). This device is used to cast, count votes and display election results. Initially these machines were mechanical but in the latest technologies undergo many upgrades to electric voting machine due to lack of security and accuracy. EVMs are developed for smooth and secured elections. The voting machines are highly basic in configuration and efficient to utilize and implement. Authorities says these machines are tempered evidence as these are standalone machines are needed to be associated with external firmware. this paper proposes the EVM which provides high security by encryption, 20% efficient when compared to microcontroller, less power consumption in terms of milliwatts, voters friendly, flexible, portable and with less expensive.
