Designing of a Biometric Fingerprint Scanner-Based, Secure, and Low-Cost Electronic Voting Machine for India

A reliable Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) is proposed and implemented in this study, which is integrated with a biometric fingerprint scanner to ensure a secure election process. This biometric EVM includes features such as an interactive user interface, hack-free design and master lock. The EVM system has the capability of registering user data and storing them in a database through proper authentication. Moreover, the system proposed lowers the requirement for human resources. This paper provides a detailed description of the systematic development of the hardware and software used. The software part includes algorithm development and implementation. A thorough and in-depth understanding of the data and the communication protocols along with the pathways used for storage of data in the devices is provided. Additionally, the cost of the system is 62.82% less than the officially existing EVM machines of India. Furthermore, this study seeks to demonstrate the benefits of such an approach from a technological and a social standpoint.

Construction of Efficient Smart Voting Machine with Liveness Detection Module

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.
