Bangladesh is a democratic country that has implemented electronic voting machines (EVMs) to make elections more efficient, secure, accurate, and timely. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence behavioral intentions to use EVM. The study identified four independent variables based on the literature behind citizens’ intentions to use EVM. The study followed an explanatory research approach among e-voters in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The findings reveal that performance expectancy, trust in institutions, and effort expectancy have positive associations (p < 0.01) with behavioral intention to use EVM. In contrast, trust in technology has not been found to have any significant association (p > 0.05).
