The primary aim of this paper is to design and implement an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) that utilizes a fingerprint sensor for authentication.The system is built on an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller and includes a fingerprint sensor to scan voters' fingerprints before casting their votes.It features a 2.4" TFT LCD screen for displaying instructions and voter information, a buzzer for alerts, and an SD card reader.The database within the system stores the password IDs and fingerprints of all voters in the microcontroller for comparison and verification during the polling process.If a voter attempts to access the EVM after already casting a vote, the buzzer will notify the master user.This proposed EVM is designed to enhance efficiency, offering reliability, ease of use, and quick responses.At the conclusion of voting, results are saved in E SamanvithaE Samanvithaflash memory, allowing the master user to access and review them.When developing an electronic voting system, it is crucial to address various factors, particularly the privacy of voters, the accuracy of the voting process, and data security.This research aims to deliver a secure and dependable voting solution.
