Abstract India is the world's largest democracy and the essence of any democracy lies in the fact that people choose their own representatives. But in the present era, the fair election process is facing a lot of problems like booth capturing, rigging, fake voting, tampering with the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) etc. Being responsible engineers, it's our duty to do something to curb this menace. In the commonly used EVMs, the voting process takes place electronically and this eliminates the use of ballot paper to cast votes in elections as it is very time consuming and errors might crawl in intentionally or unintentionally. Today the authenticity of the voter is a big concern and it also should be made sure that a same voter is not able to vote two times. This issue can be dealt with by introducing a biometric based voting system, where the authenticity of a voter is established based on fingerprints. Hence, the principle shall be one person, one authentic vote. In the present work, a prototype fingerprint based biometric voting machine has been developed. It is proposed that a feature that will link the Aadhaar database of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), Govt. of India, New Delhi; can be embedded. This shall facilitate all the voters to get registered on the portal automatically, which can be classified on the basis of regions and constituencies based on their unique identification i.e. their fingerprints. This shall enable the device developed in the present research work, at the national level of application by using it in elections conducted around the country. This shall lead significant contribution for the betterment of the Indian election system.

1.INTRODUCTION

The most severe and frequent problem faced during conducting elections is rigging (i.e. one person casting multiple votes). Although, to identify people who have already casted their vote, voters are given an ink mark ontheirfinger.Butstill therearea lotofways by which that ink mark can be removed easily and this leads to chancesoffakevoting.Throughthisproject,wepropose developinganovelBiometricbasedVotingframeworkin order to curb the above illustrated problem of rigging. Fingerprint Sensor Module is a device that captures the scanned image of the fingerprint, transforms it further intoadigitalcodeandstoresitintoitsmemory.Itisalso proposed to introduce the concept of “Remote Voting” which will enable people to sit at their homes and vote, justbyusingtheiridentitynumberandfingerprints.The

systemproposedinthepresentpaper,shallservewitha set of innovative advantages namely, i) Reduced rigging and fake/invalid votes, ii) ease of carrying the machine, iii) faster and more accurate voting process and iv) remotevotingcapability.

2. LITERATURE SURVEY

1. S.Charan et.al[1] proffered the System based on “Finger Print recognition system”, consisting of four stages :firststage,a sensor which is usedforenrolment and recognition for capturing of biometric data. Second is the pre processing stage which is implemented to removetheunwanteddataandincreasetheclarityridge of structure by using enhancement technique. Third is extractionstage,whichactsastheinputforoutputofpre processing stage to extract the finger print features. Fourth is the matching stage, to compare the acquired featurewithtemplateavailableindatabase.

2. M.Venkata Rao et.al[2] proposed “Anti rigging Voting System Using Biometrics BasedOnAadhaarcard Numbering”. In the recent years process of voting is exercised by using Electronic Voting Machine which is based on embedded project and its implementation. In this paper it is presented the implementation and execution of the progress of anti rigging voting system with the use of finger print .The purpose of implementation of the project is to make available a good environment and safety to the users for electing the candidates by using the intelligent electronic voting machine by providing the name of all the candidates to every user by using the technology of FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION. This project paper ensures give the security as it takes FINGERPRINT for the purpose of authentication.

3. Samarth Agarwal et.al[3] proposed “Biometric Based Secured Voting System” which is gives the idea of authentication based on Aadhaar ID and Aadhaar number. Entering the required Aadhaar details the biometricisbeen recognized.Theydevelopeda circuital systemwhichusesArduinoforcontrollingtheprocess.

4. S. Jehoo. Jireh et.al[4] proposed “Online Smart Voting System Using Biometrics Based Facial and Fingerprint Detection on Image Processing and CNN” which is an exemplary model of recognition of image of each individualfaceandtheirrespectivefingerprintforvoting with authorization of Election Commission using the conceptofCNN(ConvolutionNeuralNetwork).

5. Kadhija Hasta et.al[5] proposed “Fingerprint Based SecuredVoting”whichexplainsusaboutanti fraudvoter registration and voting system by using a data card which is used as storage resource for candidate details, which is further used for casting vote. The card has the limited access for its use, implemented for avoiding castingofmultiplevotesfromsinglepersonthisdeploys fraud.

Election commission: Election commission is the administratorwho has the authority on all activities. EC can add constituencies into thedatabase. EC can add the employees, the employees will login with their credentials.ECcanviewthelistofemployees.TheECcan add the election into the database and will initiate the election process. EC will add the candidate for a particular election and also can view the added candidateslist.ECcanviewelectronicresultsafterthe

Employee: Employee login with their accounts which arereceivedbyemail.Employeeswilladdvotersintothe particular constituency. Employees can view added votersdetails.

Voter: Voter’s can login into their accounts with email and OTP. When a voter enters an email the auto generated OTPwill reach the voter's email. The Voter’s can login with the OTP. voters can view elections that theyareeligibleto votefor, voters canvoteforelection with fingerprint sensor. Voters can view their votes.

5. CONCLUSION

To make the voting system faster and more secure, an attempthasbeenmadesothatthe voting system can be acceptable to all citizens of the nation. Security was the main concern of the whole project. More security has been added compared to usual electronic voting machinesbyaddingthefingerprintfeaturesothatthere cannotbeanykindofcheating.Byusingthissystem,the national voting system will be more secure, faster, easy touseandmoreeconomical.Thesystemalso consumes verylowpowerandthedeviceiseasytocarry.Thetotal costofonemachinewouldbelessthanBDT5500.Inone word, the system will make the voting system more reliableandmoresecure.Itisbetterthanthetraditional ballot paper system. The government is trying to bring technologies in every case to make the country more developed. The voting system is a very good place to apply new technology like this, by which the common people will elect their right representative in a smarter andsecureway.
