An electronic electing system using a booting memory is provided to eliminate a system speed lowering element by intercepting occurrence of unnecessary registries accumulated in a hard disk as well as to avoid security weakness or danger of leaking personal information caused by a computer virus or an illegal program. An electronic electing system using a booting memory comprises a processor(316), a volatile memory(318), and a booting memory(312). The booting memory(312) embeds an operating system, an electronic election program and environment information. If a terminal is installed at each voting place, a manager inserts the booting memory(312) into a set interface of the terminal and turns on the terminal. Then, the terminal performs a booting procedure by using the operating system embedded in the booting memory(312), automatically executes the electronic election program and loads the environment information. The OS is composed of one file different from the existing OS so that the terminal automatically executes the electronic election system if the terminal performs the booting procedure.
