In India, the election system is used to choose representatives for both the central government and state governments. India follows a democratic system, meaning citizens vote to elect their leaders. Voting in India is currently done through Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Voters go to a nearby polling booth, press a button on the EVM to vote for their chosen candidate, and that vote is counted electronically. While this system is mostly reliable, there are still challenges and limitations.

Currently, online voting is not allowed in India for state and national elections. Instead, voters need to physically go to polling stations to cast their votes. The government has decided not to use online voting for such elections because of concerns about security, data privacy, and the risk of cyber attacks that could affect the fairness of elections. While other countries like Estonia, Switzerland and Canada are using online voting in national and municipal elections, An online election allows voters to cast their ballots via the internet using secure digital platforms, eliminating the need for physical polling stations,while India still sticks to the EVM system.
