RFID Based For Biometric Voting Machine

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a current era that permits digital devices, software, sensors, vehicles, and home appliances to interconnect with networks and transfer data without human or computer intervention. However, the current electronic voting machines lack recent security measures that allow voters to verify their identity before casting their vote, which can lead to false voters casting duplicate or fake votes. To address this issue, a proposed system utilizes RFID and IoT to enhance security mechanisms in electronic voting machines. The system replaces the traditional voter ID with an active RFID tag that the system can scan and match with collected fingerprints. To verify their identity, the voter must scan their RFID tag and confirm their identity with their fingerprints. The voting machine includes an active reading device (reader) to read data on the RFID tag and a fingerprint scanner to capture fingerprints. If the fingerprints match against the database, the individual can cast their vote. In addition, the voting machine includes an LCD display to show the voter's relevant information from the database. This approach can help prevent illegal voting or impersonation since fingerprints are unique to each individual. This paper describes the layout and operation of a Smart Electronic Voting Machine the usage of Arduino UNO, RFID, to improve the election process by preventing electoral fraud and ensuring safety, security, reliability, and seamless conduct of elections in the country. The proposed solution involves the device communicating with the RFID tag. When the voter scans their RFID card, the controller verifies the ID, and if it matches, the LCD displays the result and enables the voter to cast their vote for the corresponding party. It is essential to ensure the secure implementation of the system.
