INTRODUCTION :
Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data.
Biometrics refers to technologies that measure and analyze human body
characteristics, such as DNA, fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns,
facial patterns and hand measurements, for authentication [Link] field of
biometrics was formed and has since expanded on to many types of physical
identification. Among the several human fingerprints remain a very common identifier
and the biometric method of choice among law enforcement. These concepts of
human identification have lead to the development of fingerprint scanners that serve
to quickly identify individuals and assign access privileges. The basic point of these
devices is also to examine the fingerprint data of an individual and compare it to a
database of other fingerprints .In our project we have used fingerprint for the purpose
of voter identification or authentication. As the thumb impression of every individual
is unique, it helps in minimizing the error. A database is created containing the
fingerprint images of all the voters as required. Illegal votes and repetition of votes is
checked for in this system with accurate coding. Hence with the application of this
fingerprint based EVM system elections could be made fair and free from rigging.
Further that the elections would are no longer a tedious and expensive job.
Literature survey
A. Electronic Voting in India
The Election Commission of India developed the country's EVMs in
partnership with two government-owned companies, the Electronics
Corporation of India (ECIL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). Though
these companies are owned by the Indian government, they are not under the
administrative control of the Election Commission. They are profit-seeking
vendors that are attempting to market EVMs globally . The first Indian EVMs
were developed in the early 1980s by ECIL. They were used in certain parts of
the country, but were never adopted [Link] machines moved the
firmware into the CPU and upgraded other components. They were gradually
deployed in greater numbers and used nationwide beginning in 2004. In 2006,
the manufacturers adopted a third-generation design incorporating additional
changes suggested by the Election Commission.
B. Evaluation of Voting Equipment
1) Paper-based voting: voter gets a blank ballot and use a pen or a marker to indicate he
want to vote for which candidate. Hand counted ballots is a time and labor consuming
process, but it is easy to manufacture paper ballots and the ballots can be retained for
verifying, this type is still the most common way to vote.
2) Lever voting machine: Lever machine is peculiar equipment, and each lever is assigned for
a corresponding candidate. The voter pulls the lever to poll for his favorite candidate. This
kind of voting machine can count up the ballots automatically. Because its interface is not
user-friendly enough, giving some training to voters is necessary.
3) Direct recording electronic voting machine: This type, which is abbreviated to DRE,
integrates with keyboard, touchscreen, or buttons for the voter press to poll. Some of them
lay in voting records and counting the votes is very quickly. But the other DRE without keep
voting records are doubted about its accuracy.
4) Punch card: The voter uses metallic hole-punch to punch a hole on the blank ballot. It can
count votes automatically, but if the voter‟s perforation is incomplete, the result is probably
determined wrongfully
WORKING
A. Flow Chart
This process basically consist of two stages
1. Voter enrollment
2. Vote casting
Methodology
This is implemented with both software and hardware using different tools as
1) Software
a)Keil TOOLS by arm version 4
b)Proteus
2) Hardware
a)Finger print module
b)ARM processor
c)LCD Display
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
A. Advantages
This system allows only authenticated voting than the existing equipment as
the person is identified based on his Fingerprint which is unique to each
individual.
Low power consumptio
nIt is economical
Less manpower require
B. Disadvantages
Before voting the user has to enroll first.
finger print module causes sometimes Combine character error.
APPLICATIONS
This project can be used as a voting machine to prevent rigging, during the
elections in the polling booths.
Fast track voting which could be used in small scale elections, like
resident welfare association, “panchayat” level election and other
society level elections, where results can be instantaneous.
It could also be used to conduct opinion polls during annual
shareholders meeting.
It could also be used to conduct general assembly elections where
number of candidates are less than or equal to eight in the current
situation, on a small scale basis.
CONCLUSION
The project “Fingerprint Based Voting Machine” was mainly intended to
develop a fingerprint based advanced Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) which
helps in free and fair way of conducting elections which are basis for
democratic country like India.
