1.ABSTRACT: Electronic voting (also known as e-voting) is voting using electronic systems to aid casting and counting votes. Electronic voting technology can include punched cards, optical scan voting systems and specialized voting kiosks (including self-contained direct-recording electronic voting systems, or DRE). It can also involve transmission of ballots and votes via telephones, private computer networks, or the Internet.

2.OBJECTIVE: The main goal of this project is developed to improvise present voting technique by electronics with password protection.

4.BLOCK DIAGRAM:

4.METHODOLOGY: This project is developed to improvise present voting technique by electronics. The main modules in this project are 4X4 Keypad, Switches, MSP430 controller unit with LCD display and output. The transmitter will be there in Election Voting Center.. The transmitter module has 4X4 Keypad for password entry because each person should have unique password for voting.

After entering the password, if the password is correct then he can vote for his favorite party by switching the appropriate switch, at this level voting of that particular person has finished. After pressing the switch that information will send to MSP430 then the MSP430 controller analyses the signal and then it provides one voice announcement like Thank You for Voting. After receiving the signal the from the switch the MSP430 controller will activate the Buzzer or DC Motor or Visual Indication based on the application.

5.ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: Electronic voting machines can be made fully accessible for persons with disabilities. Electronic voting machines are able to provide immediate feedback to the voter detecting such possible problems as under voting and over voting which may result in a spoiled ballot. This immediate feedback can be helpful in successfully determining voter intent. Environmental effects of EVMs: For each national election alone it is estimated that about 10,000 tons of ballot paper (roughly 200,000 trees) would be saved. Invalid votes can be reduced by use of EVMs. Bogus voting can be greatly reduced by the use of EVMs.

It will be easier to transport the EVMs compared to ballot boxes as EVMs are lighter, portable and come with polypropylene carrying cases. The vote-counting is very fast and the result can be declared within 2 to 3 hours as compared to 30–40 hours, on an average, under the ballot-paper system. The EVMs reduce the time in both casting a vote and declaring the results compared to the old paper ballot system. DISADVANTAGES: Cost effective. Not useful unless all countries adopt it.

6.APPLICATIONS: This project can be implemented in Schools, Colleges and Companies for any stream. Restricted places for election voting. Wherever secrecy is important there we can use it.

7.CONCLUSION: The proposed Electronic Voting Machine Using MSP430 With Voice Feedback System has been implemented successfully and is tested on hardware. Experimental results verify the effective developed operation. This technology can give a better security for voting system in Elections.
