Architecture of a Low Cost Electronic Voting Machine Suitable for Deployment in Developing Countries.
Jonathan A. Enokela, Charles C. Osuagwu · 2010
Electronic voting machines are becoming increasingly popular in various democracies around the world because of the realization that their deployment will lead to generally better elections. Due to the fact that problems with elections vary from one country to another, a global electronic voting machine may not be realizable. Environmental and attitudinal factors contribute to the suitability of a voting system for a particular country. Such factors are discussed and the configuration of a machine that could be used to solve the problems in developing countries is exhaustively analyzed. A prototype of the machine that has been developed performs satisfactorily and solves virtually all the problems highlighted.
