INCORPORATING BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION MECHANISM IN THE VOTING SYSTEM
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract: An online voting system is to avoid multiple polling and irregularities at counting location. Currently, the voting system in India is inefficient and vulnerable to outer threats. The security check is depending on the voter Identity Card (ID) and the card is duplicated for an instance with varying addresses [1]. Vote counting is done manually and is found that it is a process that consumes a big span of time. Due to the lack of securities in the rural areas the polling booths are captured and the ballots are destroyed. In order to avoid these kinds of disturbances, the implementation of an online voting system with digital securities and reusing the existing devices may incur less cost. This study proposes a Fingerprint Based Voting System, which uses a recognition part of the user through a fingerprint verification module. Since the fingerprint pattern is unique for humans, the authentication is done easily and duplicating such pattern is highly impossible. The system allows the voter to login through the fingerprint. The proposed method restricts the voter not to vote for more than one time.
