India is one of the democratic countries; the two major elections in India are General elections and Assembly elections. These elections are taken with the help of an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM). It is necessary to be present in the home constituency during elections, one cannot vote from another constituency to the candidate of his/her constituency. As a result, lots of people are not able to cast their votes in elections. To solve this issue there is a necessity of such a system that enables voters to vote in their respective constituency from another constituency.Digital Electronic Voting Machine (DEVM) allows voters to vote who are not available in their constituency during elections because of their employment, education, business, etc. This proposed system should be implemented in the area where the migration of people from another constituency is more. There should be a special polling booth for migrant people, where those people can cast their vote on DEVM. People of that constituency can vote in an ordinary way using EVM. This system is implemented using Raspberry Pi 4 and Touchscreen Display. The Graphical User Interface is created using Python that gives voters an option to select their home constituency to cast their vote. The system includes the candidate data of all 543 constituencies. The result of the votes is stored in the memory of Raspberry Pi with respect to the selected constituency. As a result, the voting percentage will increase which is a good sign for democracy.
