ABSTRACT-
In developing countries like India, the election commission often employs manual voting mechanisms using electronic voting machines (EVMs). These machines are placed in polling centers and monitored by higher officials. However, instances of illegal activities and misuse of polling centers have occurred, leading to the denial of people's right to vote. This issue is prevalent in both rural and urban areas, as educated individuals may not be interested in voting for candidates representing their respective regions. To address these challenges, the introduction of biometric technology has been proposed. Biometrics involves the measurement and analysis of biological data to verify individuals' identities. With the increasing accessibility of electronic communication and computer technology, biometric systems have gained prominence in enhancing security and improving various processes, including elections.
The proposed system aims to leverage new technologies in the voting process, storing, recording, and processing election data as digital information. Electronic voting machines can significantly reduce the time taken by voters, as well as simplify the vote counting process compared to traditional paper ballot systems In this system, a secured electronic voting machine is developed using a unique identification number, such as the Aadhaar number in India. To provide additional security, biometric identification is employed alongside the Aadhaar number. During voting in elections, voter authentication can be performed through biometric patterns, with images captured at the time of authentication. The Aadhaar card number can serve as a primary key for fingerprint authentication. If the biometric information of the voter matches the database of Aadhaar, the person is allowed to cast their vote. By utilizing technologies such as Arduino and a fingerprint scanner, the proposed system can accurately identify each voter, count votes, and prevent the occurrence of fake votes.
Overall, this proposed system aims to enhance the efficiency, security, and integrity of the voting process in India by incorporating biometric identification and unique identification numbers like Aadhaar.
