Voting is a procedure to choose a person or articulate opinion following conversation, debate on a particular topic related to elections. In this paper, assessment of the voting paradigms from traditional paper based ballots to electronic voting methods, and how it has been changed by leaps and bounds. Electronic Voting Machines are already been used in developed countries but in a developing country like India – rampage and tamper-proof elections is a burning issue and security is a major concern which is like finding a needle in a haystack. Though 1.4 million EVMs are deployed nationwide, still it faces impediment to provide a secured voting ambiance. The major challenges faced to deploy EVM's in India is studied and described explicitly. Despite of intricate safeguards, Indian EVM's are susceptible to malicious attacks. This paper proposes a new state-of-the-art EVM design in quest for election legitimacy to provide an inexpensive solution which is based on pragmatic biometric system using fingerprint detection along with inclusion of NFC technology and also the proposed design can be considered under” internet of things” as the EVM is connected to the internet to provide a 3-tier secured, accurate and speedy and an efficacious voting system.
