ABSTRACT
Traditional paper based voting procedure was very long and time-consuming process and very much prone to errors. Polling by Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) is a simple, safe and secure method that takes minimum of time. Current Electronic Voting Machine (EVMs) used in LOK SABHA and ASSEMBLY elections accepts only one vote from each voter. But in elections such as GRAMA PANCHAYATH and COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES, where each voter casts their votes to more than one candidate, available voting machines will not work. The paper presents a PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE that accepts one or more votes depending on requirement. Mode control is included in EVM, through which it is possible to set the EVM to accept more than one vote from each voter depending on the type of elections. The main advantage of this type of EVM is to avoid the invalid votes especially in co-operative society elections where each voter has to cast vote for nine candidates.
