A Secured Biometric Voting System Using RFID Linked with the Aadhar Database

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a recent technology where electronic devices, software, sensors, vehicles, home appliances are interconnected with networks to transfer data without human or computer interaction. The problem in the existing system is, the electronic voting machines do not have any recent security measures by which the voter can verify their identity before casting the vote due to false voters can cast numerous duplicate or fake votes. So, the proposed system is Implemented using RFID and IoT (Internet of Things) to improvise the security mechanisms. Here, an active RFID tag is used in place of voter id where the system can scan the tag and matches with the fingerprints collected in the Aadhar database. The voter has to scan the RFID tag for the identification and further the voter has to confirm the identity with the fingerprints. It includes active reading equipment (reader) for reading data in RFID tag and finger print scanner is used in this voting machine for scanning finger prints. If the prints matched against the database gathered, the individuals can effectively cast their votes, if that's not the case, the buzzer will be alarmed to avoid casting of fake voters. A LCD is applicable in the process of displaying the corresponding information of the voter from the database, thus illegal voting or impersonating can be avoided since the finger prints is not the same for every individual. Due to the fact that the process of voting is connected with the Aadhar database, the system offers maximum security and efficiency. The system also transfers the configured data to the registered phone numbers from the voters' database.
