BIOMETRIC VOTING SYSTEM

Presented by:-Vinodh Kumar.P

Introduction

Electronic voting system is an effective approach for counting of votes could be faster, more accurate and less labor intensive. In this system we use one effective algorithm called minutiae for Fingerprint. This algorithm can be used to match the Fingerprint images. The Proposed system is used to avoid the vote recasting with help of RFID and Fingerprint. There is way to prohibit the same person from casting multiple ballots using Fingerprint and RFID. In an E-voting system, there is way to prohibit the same person from casting multiple ballots using Fingerprint.

OverviewRegistrationAdminFinger print moduleSelection of candidate and submissionVote counting and announcement of resultFormation of The Network

RegistrationThe candidates who satisfies the voter criteria, he has to register his details with the main server’s database.

Here the candidates should give their Name, fingerprint value, Gender, Data of birth, Address and Photograph.

These details should be stored in the main server

Admin Admin module is the important module in this system.

Because only in this module has the rights to access with the database.

Also he has the rights to announce the results. This module has tight authentication process.

Finger Print Module The e-voting system will ask the fingerprint of the user.

If the user provides his fingerprint then it matches the given finger print value with the database’s fingerprint value.

If fingerprint matches then only, the system allows the user to go to the main page.

Select Candidate and Submission This system provides a touch screen to the user to put their

vote. First the touch screen displays the main page which contains the list of nominated parties and candidates list. The user can touch any candidate as their selection and his final vote is considered when the user press the confirm button.

The information shown by the touch-screen changes in real-time to match the voter’s choices. This system also stores the audit data. Thus the system provides more user-friendly Interface to the voter. 

Vote counting and announcement of result When the voting procedure is finished all votes are

automatically updated in the database. It will counts the votes for each party automatically and displays the accurate result.

Here no manual intrusion, so no error rate.

A matching algorithm for fingerprint minutiae In this algorithm we introduce a new approach i.e. independent of shift and

rotation of the fingerprint and at the meantime the matching operation is performed much more easily and with higher speed and accuracy.

In this new approach first for any fingerprint a reference point and a reference orientation is determined and then based on this information features are converted into polar coordinates.

Due to high speed and accuracy of this approach, small volume of extracted features and easily execution of matching operation this approach is the most appropriate for real time applications.

Formation of The Network The voting machines present in a town are interlinked in the form of a

highly secure LAN.

This network is formed with the help of the Telephone lines.

All the data collected in the voting system is first stored in the voting machine itself

Then it is sent to the Server which will be located at the Headquarters of the town.

All the data is collected there and it is transferred to the main server.

Conclusion Advent of this system would enable hosting of fair elections in

India.

Will preclude illegal practices like rigging.

The citizens can be sure that they alone can choose their leaders, thus exercising their right in the democracy.

Biometric approaches should be extremely carefully deployed.
