ABSTRACT
According to Election Data Services the percentage of electronic voting machines per
county doubled between 1998 and 2002 to 16 percent-, yet a full replacement of the traditional
voting procedure is very unlikely. In its essence, an electronic voting machine is a computer
assisted self-interviewing device (CASI) giving the voter the opportunity to review and change
his/her vote before submitting it. The different types of voting machines allow for different kinds
of interaction, such as using a touch screen technology, using a dial wheel, touching a paper
panel, or pressing a button on an LCD screen. Each machine provides feedback for blank ballots
and under-voting and prevents selecting more choices than the maximum allowed. Somemachines even have advanced functions such as increasing the font for visually impaired voters
and/or allowing for listening of the voting options rather than reading. The common features
electronic voting machines share with CASI and ACASI devices allow for theoretical and
empirical predictions of the advantages and disadvantages this technology can provide. The
paper presents an overview of the different types of voting machines and based on established
theories and results from CASI and ACASI studies, examines and compares characteristics of the
machines currently used and computer-human interaction mechanisms, their potential effects,
and unexplored applications. Furthermore, possibilities such as prediction of candidates name
order effect, already existing in the literature, and computer literacy effect on voting are
discussed

INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Electronic Voting Machine An Electronic Marvel.
Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) retains all the characteristics of voting by ballot papers, while
making polling a lot more expedient. Being fast and absolutely reliable, the EVM saves
considerable time, money and manpower. And, of course, helps maintain total voting secrecy
without the use of ballot papers. The EVM is 100 per cent tamper proof. And, at the end of the
polling, just press a button and there you have the results.
1.2 Description:
Electronic voting machine has now days become an effective tool for voting. It ensures flawless
voting and thus has become more widespread. It ensures people about their vote being secured. It
avoids any kind of malpractice and invalid votes. Also such kind of system becomes more
economical as consequent expenditure incurred on manpower is saved. It is also convenient on
the part of voter, as he has to just press one key whichever belongs to his candidates.
voting machines are the total combination of mechanical , electromechanical ,
or electronic equipment (including softwar e, firmware , and documentation required to program
control, and support equipment), that is used to define ballots; to cast and count votes ; to report or
display election results; and to maintain and produce any audit trail information. The first voting
machines were mechanical but it is increasingly more common to use electronic
voting machines.
A voting system includes the practices and associated documentation used to identify system
components and versions of such components; to test the system during its development and
maintenance; to maintain records of system errors or defects; to determine specific changes made

after initial certification; and to make available any materials to the voter (such as
notices, instructions, forms, or paper ballots).
Traditionally, a voting machine has been defined by the mechanism the system uses to cast
votes and further categorized by the location where the system tabulates the votes.Voting machines have different levels of usability, security, efficiency and accuracy. Certain
systems may be more or less accessible to all voters, or not accessible to those voters with certain
types of disabilities. They can also have an effect on the public's ability to oversee elections.

CHAPTER:2
TOOLS USED 2.1 HARDWARE TOOLS:
The control Unit : In Total control of the polling
Conduction of polling, display of total votes polled, sealing at the end of the poll, and finally,
declaration of results these are the various accomplishments of just one gadget : the control
unit. In total control of the polling, this electronic unit gives you all necessary information at a
press of a few buttons. For instance, if you need to know the total number of votes, you justhave to press the Total switch. Candidates-wise results can be had only at the end of polling.
The Ballot Unit : An electronic ballot bo x.
A simple voting device, it displays the list of candidates. A facility to incorporate party names
and symbols is in-built. All the voter has to do is press the desired switch located next to the
name of each candidate. The main advantage is the speed, apart from the simplicity of operation,
which requires no training at all. A single ballot unit takes in the names of 16 candidates. And
thus, by connecting four ballot units the EVM can accommodate a total of 64 candidates in a
single election.
2.2 SOFTWARE TOOLS:
KEIL SOFTWARE: The Keil 8051 Development Tools are designed to solve the complex problems facing
embedded software developers.
When starting a new project, simply select the microcontroller you use from the Device
Database and the Vision IDE sets all compiler, assembler, linker, and memory options
for you.
Numerous example programs are included to help you get started with the most popular
embedded 8051 devices.

The Keil Vision Debugger accurately simulates on-chip peripherals (IC, CAN, UART, SPI,
Interrupts, I/O Ports, A/D Converter, D/A Converter, and PWM Modules) of your 8051
device. Simulation helps you understand hardware configurations and avoids time wasted
on setup problems. Additionally, with simulation, you can write and test applications before
target hardware is available.
PROTEUS SOFTWARE:
Proteus 7.0 is a Virtual System Modelling (VSM) that combines circuit simulatio n, animated components
microprocessor models to co-simulate the complete microcontroller based designs. This is the perfect tool for
engineers to test their microcontroller designs before constructing a physical prototype in real time. This
program allows users to interact with the design using on-screen indicators and/or LED and LCD displays and,i attached to the PC, switches and buttons.
One of the main components of Proteus 7.0 is the Circuit Simulation -- a product that uses a SPICE3f5
analogue simulator kernel combined with an event-driven digital simulator that allow users to utilize any
SPICE model by any manufacturer.
Proteus VSM comes with extensive debugging features, including breakpoints, single stepping and variable
display for a neat design prior to hardware prototyping.
In summary, Proteus 7.0 is the program to use when you want to simulate the interaction between
software running on a microcontroller and any analog or digital electronic device connected to it.
Advantages:
Real time simulation.
Time and money saving.

senses the
signal
given from
switches
and decides
the mode of
operation invoting
mode it increments the data for corresponding key i.e. respective candidate as well as it sends
signal to display block to indicate one key is pressed. In counting mode micro controllers
fetches data from memory location and send it to display devices.

2) LCD: Liquid Crystal Display which is commonly known as LCD is an Alphanumeric Display
it means that it can display Alphabets, Numbers as well as special symbols thus LCD is a user
friendly Display device which can be used for displaying various messages unlike seven segment
display which can display only numbers and some of the alphabets. The only disadvantage of
LCD over seven segment is that seven segment is robust display and be visualized from a longer
distance as compared to LCD. Here I have used 16 x 2 Alphanumeric Display which means on
this display I can display two lines with maximum of 16 characters in one line.

CHAPTER:9
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
In this paper, we have described the specification and architecture of a ELECTRONIC VOTING
MACHINE .Various fault-tolerance and security issues are delegated to the platform itself,
therefore relieving the application designer from accommodating these features in the application
design itself. This approach allows for the easy development and deployment of applications.
For quite some time, voting equipment vendors have maintained that their systems are secure,
and that the closed-source nature makes them even more secure. Our glimpse into the code of
such a system reveals that there is little difference in the way code is developed for votingmachines relative to other commercial endeavors. In fact, we believe that an open process would
result in more careful development, as more scientists, software engineers, political activists, and
others who value their democracy would be paying attention to the quality of the software that is
used for their elections. (Of course, open source would not solve all of the problems with
electronic elections. It is still important to verify somehow that the binary program images
running in the machine correspond to the source code and that the compilers used on the source
code are non-malicious. However, open source is a good start.) Such open design processes have
proven successful in projects ranging from very focused efforts, such as specifying the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) [23], through very large and complex systems such as maintaining
the Linux operating System. Australia is currently using an open source voting
system10Alternatively, security models such as the voter-verified audit trail allow for electronic
voting systems that produce a paper trail that can be seen and verified by a voter. In such a
system, the correctness burden on the voting terminals code is significantly less as voters can
see and verify a physical object that describes their vote. Even if, for whatever reason, the
machines cannot name the winner of an election, then the paper ballots can be recounted, eithermechanically or manually, to gain progressively more accurate election results. Voter-verifiable
audit trails are required in some U.S. states, and major DRE vendors have made public
statements that they would support such features if their customers required it. The EVM project
an ambitious attempt to create an open-source voting system with a voter-verifiable audit trail

a laudable goal The model where individual vendors write proprietary code to run our elections
appears to be unreliable, and if we do not change the process of designing our voting systems,
we will have no confidence that our election results will reflect the will of the electorate. We owe
it to ourselves and to our future to have robust, well-designed election systems to preserve the
bedrock of our democracy
