Electronic voting is a new field inside the technolog's applications. It was created with the objective to ensure accuracy and privacy of the votes. Nevertheless, it has been revealed that frames can influence results in electronic voting systems. This paper analyzes the impact of framing in the architecture of electronic voting systems. It is focused in the architecture of the ballots presented to the voters and how frames affect the voter's behavior. A theoretical study about concepts and experiments developed over the years and the application of a laboratory behavioral-experiment provide with empirical facts that electronic voting is framing-sensitive and influence in the voter's choices
