Design and Implementation of an Electronic Voting Machine using Microcontroller

Abstract

Voting is a crucial device to reveal the opinion of a group on an issue that is under consideration. Voting by traditional methods exposed to a lot of mistakes such as someone can voted more than once or the possibility of something goes wrong during the calculation the votes, falsification of the election result, also the delays during collection the result. This thesis aims to design and implementation electronic voting machine that avoid the mistake and give a better accuracy by eliminating the negative factor of human error and increased speed for tally computation, ensure the security, reliability and guarantee. This was accomplished by using electronic components such as microcontroller, push-button and relays. First the system has been simulated using protues and then designed and implemented. The simulation and practical results showed the good performance of the voting system.
