In this paper, we propose a scheme to realize electrically controlled quantum memories in a cavity and electromechanical system. By assisting with a constant weak optical field into the high-Q cavity, the electrical manipulations of the dark-state polariton and the group velocity of light are derived. The storage and retrieval of the photon state can be realized and optimized by sending the optimal voltage waveforms in the electric circuit, respectively. In addition, the storage efficiency and the experimental feasibility are discussed. The cavity-induced quantum memory scheme driven by the electric field here has potential applications in future integration and miniaturization of optical information processing devices.
