Design and Implementation of Arduino Based Voting Machine

Abstract

India being the largest democracy faces a lot of issues during elections. Lot of controversies are reported about voting system, voting machines, authentication of voting, corruptions during elections etc [1]. In our paper we have described a secured system that can eliminate such controversies involving elections in our country. In our present work we have developed a prototype and tested successfully an Arduino UNO based Aadhar facilitated electronic voting machine possessing a Two-Tier fingerprint security. The main purpose of this system is to give a straight and fair elections and to curb all other factors that affect it, this goal has been achieved by providing dual verification of the voters based on their fingerprint and unique id. In this System all the relevant information are taken from the voters and are stored in the database, then they are provided with unique ID. The process of verification involves matching of this id and fingerprint from the database. This is a faster and more secured way of holding elections. Our system is secured, reliable and also cost-effective.
