Indian Constitution gives rights to the citizens for representation in house of people by means of Elections. Now a day’s Digital Technologies are playing major role in conducting Elections in India. Securing Data and Information have become one of the biggest challenges and Cyber Security plays an important role in the field of Information and Communication Technology. The use of Digital Technologies needs to solve Security challenges associated with protecting Election Infrastructure. This paper presents various Cyber Security challenges encountered in Elections and appropriate measures to be deployed to overcome these Cyber security issues for conducting free and fair Elections during the entire Election process from Voter registration to Result declaration, etc.
