Electronic Voting Machine Using PIC Microcontroller

Here you see how easily we can make Electronic Voting Machine Using PIC Microcontroller. By using this machine we can conduct any voting function like audience poll in school, college quiz competition or any small scale general election.

Project Description:

To make our project “Electronic Voting Machine Using PIC Microcontroller”, we need some component like

1)    Microcontroller (PIC16f877)

2)    6 no push switch

3)    Buzzer

4)    LCD Display

Now question is how our Electronic Voting Machine is work? See below the proteus simulation circuit diagram.

Electronic Voting Machine Using PIC Microcontroller Schematic

In above circuit diagram you see that four numbers of push button are used for voting four candidates. One master button is their which ensure that any participant can vote one candidate at a time. When a participant want to cast his vote master Switch has to be press to active the system and when participant press any puss button to vote the system will deactivated. Then any button will not work until press master button again. Bellow the master button there has a count button when we press that it will show the result candidate wise. For better to understand working principal see that video first.
