Abstract :
The voting process is one of the most significant areas that benefits from technological growth, and the development of digital technology has changed many other industries. Electronic voting machines (EVMs) are an essential part of traditional voting systems because of their effectiveness, accuracy, and ease of use. The design, architecture, and advantages of the FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) implementation of an electronic voting machine over conventional voting systems have been explored in this work. EVMs based on FPGA have benefits in terms of reliability, flexibility, security, and speed. The elements of the FPGA implementation, the design process, and the difficulties in maintaining data integrity and thwarting tampering are also covered in the article. The goal is to demonstrate how FPGA technology can be applied to build a voting system that is safe, reliable, and effective, therefore enhancing the election process. FPGA-based EVM describes more complex functionalities and enhances performance and electronics voting application
