Abstract: E-Electronic voting system have the potential to improve percentage of the voting. In the traditional voting, such as, the electronics voting and paper based voting, percentage of voting is decreasing. Now a days most of voters are busy in their work and most of the voters are living far away from voting centre. some voters dont like to wait in queues. Thus, due to this, voters dont visit to the polling booth. Thus, percentage of voting is decreasing, which is main and serious drawback of traditional voting scheme. Now a days some improvement is needed in this field. Thus, in this paper we are introducing such a system, which will eliminate drawback of traditional voting scheme. This new voting scheme is based on SMS. SMS is a key future of the second generation(2G) mobile. In the second generation , GSM (global system for mobile communications) is very famous technology. In next generation of mobile, such as 2.5G, 2.75G, 3G & 4G, SMS is one of the prime features. So we implement a new voting system, based on SMS. mobile telephony is widely used, there are more than 6,800,000,000 mobile users worldwide and population of the voter in world is 7,012,000,000 that is 96.97% voter use mobile worldwide. In these paper an electronic voting system using SMS is presented but to care of the remaining 212,000,000 voter that is 3.03% of the voter will use the traditional electronic voting machine as it is. Considering the major crowd of mobile users we developed modified voting machine which support both electronic voting machine and SMS based voting. we are able to exploit existing mobile authentication mechanism and provide enhance voter authentication with mobility while maintaining voter privacy. now days additional problem is of declaring the result of voting, So to declare result normally 8-10 days will be taken. in this day security of voting machine is prime question and very large cost paid for this. in our modified voting machine we can declare result within 1hr of voting and also the voting result send to all registered mobile number
