scholarly journals Secure Radio Frequency Transmission for Paperless Voting System

In any democracy, elections play an important role. If the traditional Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) is secured by encryption, it could be made more reliable. Traditional voting process provides security through the use of a paper audit trail which is not environment friendly making it unfit for use in the long run. This paper proposes the use of Blowfish algorithm for encryption along with secure transmission using radio frequency and verification of the cast vote. In this approach, the cast vote is encrypted using Blowfish encryption algorithm and transmitted to the server through radio frequency. At the server, the data is decrypted and sent back to be displayed on the screen of the EVM, eliminating the paper audit trail. This approach will account for a considerable amount of cost reduction without compromising on the security and sanctity of the election process.

Mongolia introduced a new electronic voting system for the first time for the 2012 parliamentary election. E-voting empowers citizens by making voting simpler and providing better opportunities for certain groups of citizens to participate in the election process. The electoral reform was one of the major steps the parliament carried out in order to restore public trust lost in the violent protests against the 2008 parliamentary election results. A free, transparent, and fair electoral system was important to correct the fraud in the old election system. This chapter examines the effectiveness of the mixed system of election, the electronic voting system, and other changes to the electoral system in Mongolia.

This paper presents a study of vulnerabilities, risks, considerations and securities that can occur in a system of electronic voting in an election process of any authority. It is proposed to make an analysis as an electronic voting system can impersonate the vote traditional manual that is used for several decades in all cities of the world, these systems must ensure the integrity and proper use of the data and information obtained, but some occasions not taken into account the security considerations that are necessary in this class of systems. For this, an analysis of the security provided by electronic voting system is made as well as the vulnerabilities that may occur during the election process and some considerations to consider about electronic voting.

The article considers the advantages and disadvantages of implementing and applying the electronic voting system in different countries of the world and the prospects for the introduction of electronic voting in Ukraine. It is noted that e-democracy is a direct tool of democratization and development of the society in the information direction. One of the mechanisms of e-democracy is e-voting. Electronic voting is considered as a procedure for the implementation of the expression of will with the use of electronic means and as an automated process of counting votes, which simplifies the voting procedure and contributes to raising the level of electoral activity. It has been determined that e-voting, although it is one of the most complex forms of e-democracy, can still increase the interest of citizens, namely, the young people in the political life of the country, reduce the cost of the election process, enable citizens with disabilities to carry out a process of expression of will, improve the reliability of the procedure for counting election results. The author also examines the forms of e-voting that are used in world practice, namely: voting through the Internet, voting in the booth using "electronic ballot boxes" and e-voting with the help of a mobile phone. The experience of using e-voting system in different countries of the world, such as USA, Brazil, Estonia, Austria, Finland, Switzerland, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, etc., is analyzed. Identified problems faced by countries in elections when using the e-voting system. The author also considers the measures that Ukraine is developing to implement the e-voting system. In particular, it was noted that the first attempts to establish on the legislative level the introduction of electronic voting in Ukraine were recorded as early as 2011. At present, the use of electronic voting in Ukraine is only in the stage of active discussion. Based on the experience of other countries, it has been determined that electronic voting should be used in parallel with the traditional expression of will.

In a democratic country the election process and the right to vote are one of the most significant aspects. This is due to the fact that in a democratic country the sole administrator and the decision maker for the entire country needs to be elected in a fair and just manner from amongst the citizens of the country. This procedure has been effectively performed manually and physically by the utilization of ballot elections. This is a highly inefficient form of election that needs to be upgraded in this day and age of information and electronic supremacy. But the considerable concerns for developing an electronic voting scheme was the security concerns regarding multiple voting performed by a single person. Therefore to introduce an effective and useful technique which also addresses the security concerns an effective methodology for electronic voting through facial recognition has been proposed in this research article. The proposed methodology utilizes the open-source open CV library along with Recurrent Neural Networks to achieve highly accurate facial recognition for a secure electronic voting system. This approach has been significantly e evaluated for their performance metric which has achieved suitable results.

The emergence of the current pandemic has led to a new reality in which bureaucratic formalities have been affected in terms of health security, procedures, resource management, among others. Specifically, in the electoral processes, where the difficulty of fulfilling the social distance and the mobility restrictions reopen the debate on the implementation of other more advanced and modern alternatives, such as electronic voting (e-voting). This article presents the design and implementation of a decentralized e-voting system that has the potential to provide a higher level of transparency, security, and cost-efficiency. Hyperledger Fabric blockchain and smart contracts are used to cast votes, which are then recorded in an immutable way, giving voters anonymity and trust in the fairness of the election process. In addition, promising results of the performance of the e-voting system in terms of latency and transaction load are presented.

Voting is now governed by regulations that specify how a person's choices may be communicated and their desires can be realized. This study proposes an electronic voting machine (EVM) as an alternative for traditional voting methods, which may include the manual utilization of only microcontroller-based circuits. With the identified fingerprint liveness, the proposed technique will make voting considerably easier, more effective, and less likely to result in fraud. The suggested model will support and advance the trustworthiness of all votes and it will also assist in streamlining the counting and verification process. It is difficult to demonstrate that an advanced voting system has been properly designed since several critical criteria must be satisfied. Poll results should be kept private in the database in order to preserve the data. The voting process must also show the votes obtained by the respective candidates. The proposed authenticated voting machine can be applied to the local area elections in order to speed up the process and make the election process more transparent. To maintain its theoretical strength, the proposed research idea needs further study. The model employs radio frequency and fingerprint recognition to maintain the protection.

In the present scenario, Electronic Voting Machines ("EVM") are being used in India, generally for state elections. These EVMs are being used since 1999 upto till date. The EVMs reduce the time for both casting a vote and declaring the results when compared to the old paper ballot systems, up to 2004 there is no Tampering and security provided for EVMs after 2004 Supreme court and Election Commission decided to introduce EVMs with Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail(VVPAT) system but it also having some difficulties like missing of names in the voter list, requirement of huge manpower, storing of EVMs for counting purpose etc, so our proposed method is useful to overcome above problems in the voting system by using the Biometric and Aadhaar  information.<strong>   </strong>
