Abstract :
In this paper a secure study of electronic voting machine is analyzed. On analysis of the electronic machine shows that it is vulnerable to some serious attacks. For example, an attacker who gets physical access to a machine or its removable memory card for as little as one minute could install malicious code; malicious code on a machine could steal votes undetectably An attacker could also create malicious code that spreads automatically and silently from machine to machine during normal election activities. To reduce these threats will require changes to the voting machine´s hardware and software and the adoption of more rigorous election procedures.
