The authors of the article have developed methodological grounds, designed and constructed an information system to implement protected voting. The analysis of the main ways of using information technology in voting area has resulted in the finding that mobile devices with certain software can significantly reduce the number of visits to polling stations, which make political voting much more accessible to people. The authors have designed the information system using a structural approach and design model Data Flow Diagrams (DFD). They have also developed a context diagram of the information system and decomposed its main process to demonstrate ways to convert input into output. Algorithm of work have been presented in the form of a Petri net, also the authors have specified on the tables of positions and transitions of this network for a better understanding of system features. The functional purpose has been presented, the analysis of software tools has been done that allows us to achieve the set goals in designing the system. Verification of work has been carried out which is proved in screenshots of program windows of the system and contents of the main pages  has  also been described.
