Majority Vote Circuit

The document describes a student project to design an electronic voting machine circuit using logic gates that will display the results of a board vote, where the circuit was designed using a truth table and Boolean expressions, simplified using algebraic laws, and tested on a breadboard. The unsimplified circuit used more gates than the simplified version, demonstrating that simplification makes circuits more efficient and easier to understand.
