Abstract - Election is an important event of any democracy
Many of the democracies in the world still use the traditional Ballot-box system. Some developed and developing countries are now enhancing their voting process. With the introduction of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM), India, the world’s largest democracy has emerges as the most advanced democracy. After this The Election Commission of India has introduced many other steps like online voter registration, voter’s verification slip, VVPAT, etc. to enhance overall voting process. Many countries are now adapting this technique.
and it is celebrated as largest festival in that country as people from all society and religion take actively part in it. Many of democracies throughout world still practices the traditional way of polling through the Ballot-box system, which is having many drawbacks. In this 21st century; Information Technology plays an important role and it helped many sectors to achieve astonishing growth but on other hand Election System, which is pulse of any democracy, is untouched with this. This leads to many malpractices and lack of transparency in this system. Voting is a fundamental right for eligible individuals in a democracy and it should be transparent and free from any malpractices, hence ensuring the trust of people in democracy. Therefore authorities must adapt an efficient mechanism to implement electoral processes.
2. EXISTING SYSTEM Currently if a person wants to cast their vote, they have to enroll themselves into electoral roll and the process is not as easy as AADHAR Card. There are multiple forms to choose from. Form-6 for inclusion of name, Form-7 for deletion of name and Form-8 for correction in details, etc. This leads to confusion between people and the system itself is time consuming. Also during election period, authenticating voters and avoiding bogus voting is very hard task. Booth capturing is also a big problem in current system. If officer’s intension is not right they can do many malpractices. A lot of manpower is required during election period. Every booth has more than 5 officers including police personals. Election commission spends lots of money for voters education and to increase voting percentage. Although India’s electoral system is world’s best, but still there are chances to improve it.

Various government organizations and bodies do their best to conduct smooth and transparent elections. But due to some reasons, there are always controversies involved in elections. Difficulties in enrollment, fake voting, booth capturing, malpractices by few administrators/officers, etc. are the some of the problems faced by both people and higher authorities conducting elections. Thus all this become a major challenge before the election conducting authorities and they must conquer all this consequences and must conduct fair and smooth elections to ensure the hope and power of people in the democracies. Post-independence we have seen a significance change and almost every sector is revolutionized in India. With the introduction of information technology in all sectors of life we have seen a dramatic change but Elections, the most celebrates event is untouched with the new age technologies.

Long enrollment process, too many forms and paper work. For modification in our entries we need to enroll again or submit correction form which is as good as re-enrollment.
