Abstract :
India is world’s largest democracy and the essence of any democracy lies in the fact that people choose the own representatives. But in 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. The main objective is to enhance the security in order to prevent duplication and provide a system which reduce the burden for people on conducting a voting. 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 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 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 Aadhar database of Unique Identification Authority of India(UIDAI), Govt. of India, New Delhi; can be embedded. This shallfacilitateallthevoterstogetregisteredontheportalautomatically, which can be classified on the basis of regions and constituencies based on their unique identification i.e. their fingerprints.
