Electronic Voting Machine Using Biometric Recognition

Abstract- In the past few decades, the necessity of secure, transparent, and efficient voting processes has gained unprecedented significance. Classic paper-based election systems have also been confronted by numerous challenges like vote tampering, identity spoofing, and logistical inefficiency. Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) coupled with biometric recognition technology hold great hope in solving such problems. In this paper, we discuss the idea, model, advantages, and disadvantages of adopting EVMs augmented by biometric methods like fingerprint and facial recognition. We also compare real-world experiences, potential setbacks, and prospective directions for making election systems more inclusive and authentication. Keywords-A secure electronic voting system using fingerprint biometric authentication ensures accurate voter verification via image processing. It uses encrypted template matching and wireless data transfer to enhance election security.
