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.

The e-voting system which developed using two central facilities protokol consist of three component that is voting machine as client for interaction with voter, central legitimization agency (CLA) as server voter authentication, and central tabulating facility (CTF) as server for result recapitulation voter vote count. Research in this paper just focused to voter authentication process on voting machine toward database of voter that stored in CLA with using fingerprint biometric technology. Fingerprint biometric technology used for voter registration process, voter verification process, and voter authentication process who will doing election. Registration process for acquiring voter fingerprint image database, verification process to be sure voter database can be verificated or not, and authentication process for voter authorization who can be permitted or not by system give of vote in election.


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.


The objective for the efficient functioning of the Indian democracy is purely dependent on the decisions made by the citizens of our country. To avoid duplicate or illegal votes we need a secure system which uniquely identifies our citizen. In India AADHAR uniquely identifies the citizens of INDIA by their thumb impression and also provides the other details like Date of birth, address, gender, father’s name, Spouse details etc. The election process is carried out in 3 steps Creation of voter list, actual voting process, and counting of votes. Creation of voter list can be done by database which is efficient to store big data with the person’s name and his AADHAR number. In actual voting process verification can be done by using fingerprint recognition and votes should be stored depending on ward numbers. Counting is the last process which can be done very easily if previous steps are digitized. In the world of Internet of things a voter should be able to cast his vote from anywhere by validating his credentials. This paper describes a voting system with 3 possible ways for voter to cast his vote

<span>Elections of regional heads is the local election process is based on a majority vote. While voting (voting) is one of the stages of elections. A common problem that occurs in the general election that the election and the collection of voters who still use manual way. In this final project designed an election system by taking these problems. The system designed is a system of e-voting. E-voting system is a method of polling / voting by electronic media and the Internet, making it easier and speed up the selection process. The system can be minimized by using e-KTP and fingerprint identification as data validation as well as a web-based information that is easily accessible to users and the public in obtaining information related to the implementation of e-voting.</span>

PurposeTo identify the factors that influence adoption of e‐voting services by citizens between the ages of 18‐24.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses Carter and Belanger's (2005) model of e‐government adoption to assess young voters' intention to use an online voting system. The study integrates constructs from technology acceptance, diffusion of innovation, and web trust models. A survey is administered to 208 young voters. The data is analyzed using multiple regression analysis.FindingsResults indicate that user perceptions of compatibility, usefulness, and trust significantly impact their intention to use an electronic‐voting system. The model explains 76 percent of the variance in young voters' intention to use an e‐voting system.Research limitations/implicationsThe study only explores the perceptions of one age group. Future studies could use the model to access adoption perceptions of a more diverse pool of citizens.Practical implicationsGovernment agencies should emphasize the benefits of this electronic service to young voters. If marketed properly, the convenience and compatibility of e‐voting may be influential enough to motivate this normally apathetic demographic to participate in the election process.Originality/valueThis study explores adoption of internet voting by young citizens. An understanding of the factors that influence this demographics' intention to use e‐voting systems can be used to increase voter participation. The findings of this study also lay the foundation for future studies on e‐voting adoption.

The election process adopted in Nigeria is mostly paper based or manual. This manually handled process can be time-consuming, and prone to security breaches and electoral fraud. Consequently, this work proposes a biometrically authenticated voting system to provide inexpensive solution to the electoral process in Nigeria. In particular, the biometric database is constructed by filling it with the audio fingerprints and the associated metadata of many audio clips, and then the fingerprint of an unknown clip (or the distorted version of the clip brought by compression or standard audio processing) is extracted and compared to that of the clip in the database. If the fingerprint of the unknown clip is in the database, it will be correctly identified by the matching procedures. The project is implemented with biometric system i.e. fingerprint scanning and facial recognition. Accordingly, this is used to ensure enhanced security, and to avoid fake, repeated voting. Results obtained showed that the proposed system is fast, accurate, reliable, and cost effective, thus a viable option to replace the manual voting process. Keywords: Biometrics, electoral process, facial recognition, finger print scanning

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.
