Electronic voting machine has received tremendous researches in recent times with improvement in its capabilities. However, most electronic voting machine has limitation in terms of the number of parties it can accommodate and unfriendly to visually impaired persons. This present paper incorporates test-to-speech functionality into the electronic voting as to provide user friendliness to visually impaired persons and also for election announcement. The major component used to achieve this aim are Arduino Mega 2560, SM630 fingerprint scanner, RFID scanner and keypad matrix. This present electronic voting machine met the key requirements of convenience, transparency, flexibility, accuracy, eligibility, uniqueness, auditability, confidence and privacy
