Do you believe in electronic vote machine?

In our country we'll have the first ever electronic counting machine. Not the voting machine yet. Wish we can also have that in the next election. So, I couldn't tell yet whether it is vulnerable to fraud.

EVMs are very good machines. But there can be fraud also done by the people in power. The software should be made foolproof upto the stage of casting the vote. The counting should go on within the machine like there are counters for visitors at places. It should also not be accessible through wi-fi. With such precautions EVM may work reliably. In India we have seen rigging at poll booths taking place with the paper voting system. We have to choose the lesser evil. No other go.

I think that they are great in that they have made the process of going to vote a much quicker process. However, I think that because of these kinds of machines it is possible to skew the vote because there isn't any paper proof of the way that the votes were cast. This means that it is possible to preload the votes for a specific candidate so that the people really won't have their way in the process. This is one of those cases where convenience really isn't the best policy.

Almost anything and everyone in this world is susceptible to fraud and corruption. In the Philippines, we had our first nationwide electronic and automated elections which concluded peacefully. Because of the relatively in the poll results, cheating was almost abated in all levels. the system may not be perfect, but the relative speed of results processing made it almost impossible for post-election fraud to take place.
