AI-IOT Based Smart Election Authentication And Integrity Monitoring System

SecureVoteGuard, an AI-IoT based smart election system built on an ESP32 controller, RFID, face recognition, fingerprint authentication and cloud storage, has been designed to address identity theft, double voting, booth tampering, the lack of live alerts and slow counting in conventional polling. The prototype is expected to deliver successful three-layer authentication, instant duplicate-vote elimination, immediate physical tamper alerts, live centralized data synchronization and a comprehensive real-time monitoring dashboard. Its low cost and modular structure make it suitable for demonstration and for further development towards larger deployments. The next steps are to build and test the prototype with valid, duplicate and fake voters, then to extend the design to multiple booths and use analytics to improve the service.
