Project Description

ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this system is to give a straight and fair elections and to curb all other factors that affect it, this goal has been achieved by providing dual verification of the voters based on their fingerprint and unique id. This is a faster and more secured way of holding elections. Our system is secured, reliable and also cost- effective.

           The existing prevalent processes of voting in these elections are slow and strenuous and the outcome is often inaccurate. When voters come to the polling booth to exercise his franchise; they are directed to swipe their voter identity card on a RFID reader. When RFID reader senses the voter ID then it sends this information to the microcontroller. After receiving the voter ID information, the microcontroller checks whether the received voter ID belongs to the particular polling booth or not. If the information is right the voter to be allowed for voting through the fingerprint. That process continues for each and every voter. Thus, people lose faith in the electoral process and consequently in their leaders as well. This work developed an electronic voting system that aids the process of choosing such leaders in a manner that is fast, free and fair. The device was developed by interfacing fingerprint sensor, a keypad, wifi module, LCD and a personal computer to an Arduino Mega. Algorithm was developed and coded using the Arduino IDE. The device was deployed and evaluated against a mock election using the secret ballot system and was found to not only produce expected results but was also found to eliminate possible irregularities such as vote inflation while also reducing both voting and collation times.
