Electronic voting was first introduced to Brazil in 1996, with the first tests carried out in the state of Santa Catarina. The primary design goal of the voting machine (Portuguese: urna eletrônica) is extreme simplicity, the model being a public phone booth. The voting machines perform three steps – voter identification, secure voting, and tallying – in a single process, aiming to eliminate fraud based on forged or falsified public documents.[citation needed] Political parties have access to the voting machine's programs before the election for auditing.
As of 2023[update], Brazil is the only country in the world to conduct its elections entirely through electronic voting.[1]
