A voltmeter is always coonected in parallel across a device to measure the voltage across it. Now, if the voltmeter has low resistance, then the current will split and flow through the voltmeter also, thereby giving incorrect or undesired results across the device. Hence, it has a high resistance so that negligible current flows through it.
