SIMPLE VOTING MACHINE

1. ABSTRACT Some machines 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

2. INTRODUCTION
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. Block diagram

3. BACKGROUND
According to election data services the electronics 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. Some machines 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.

4. WORKFOCUS
Work to be done Sr.No. 1. 2. Searching and finalizing the title of the project. [1]Preparing and submitting the IEEE format report.

5. METHODOLGY

[1] Search the project title on internet or reference books and finalize the title. [2] Check the availability of the components used in the project circuit. [3] If components are available then mount the given components on breadboard as per the circuit diagram and verify the circuit operation. [4] If the verification is done on the breadboard, then prepare the layout of the circuit on a plane paper and get it checked. [5] After that mount the components on PCB and test the circuit.
