Abstract— This paper proposes a fingerprint-based voting system that uses biometric data from an individual's Aadhar card to enhance election security and streamline the voting process. By linking each voter’s identity to their Aadhar, this system enables instant verification, allowing voters to cast ballots without needing additional identification. The process begins with fingerprint scanning, which is cross-referenced with the UIDAI's cloud-based database; successful matches grant access to vote, while mismatches trigger an alert. Although promising in terms of security and efficiency, the system’s large-scale adoption requires careful consideration of data privacy, cybersecurity, and legal implications.
