The Electronic Voting Machine Project

A worldwide group of scientists, engineers, political scientists, legal scholars, and voting-rights activists are working on developing a PC based voting machines that will be easier to use, more secure, cheaper, and provide greater democratic transparency than commercially available voting machines. All EVM2003 voting stations produce a voter-verifiable paper ballot

Computerized voting offers many advantages over traditional systems, including,

  • The ability to easily handle multiple languages

  • Meeting the needs of voters with disabilities

  • Eliminates problems such as over-voting and other voter intent issues.

High quality refurbished PC's that are only one generation old exist in great abundance and have more than enough power to make great voting machines.

The EVM2003 software development project includes participants from around the United States as well as from many other countries. Our EVM2003 reference software is Free Software, programmed in Python, and uses documented XML formats for data storage.
