Abstract-- The project aims to enhance the Indian voting system by implementing an Arduino-based biometric solution. It utilizes biometric authentication, specifically fingerprints, to ensure secure and accurate voter verification. The system maintains a registration database containing voter information, including fingerprints and phone numbers, to prevent fraudulent voting practices. A GSM module is employed to provide real-time feedback to voters, confirming successful vote casting and sending reminders to those who haven't voted. Duplicate voting attempts trigger alerts to the nearest police station. Google Spreadsheet is used for secure data storage, including the number of votes for each party and the final election results. By integrating biometric authentication, the project establishes a robust and transparent electoral process, eliminating fake voters and enhancing overall security. The system's features, such as real-time feedback, reliable data storage, and fraud prevention, contribute to a more efficient and trustworthy democratic system in India.
