Biometric Voting Machine

Past experience of electoral process enforced us to focus on the use of latest technology in E-voting process. The current voting mechanism has many security problems, and it is very difficult to prove even simple security aspects about them. This project implements a new voting process which makes use of Raspberry Pi to improve reliability and security over currently used systems. This system employs fingerprint sensor as biometric identifiers to gain authenticity. AADHAAR card details of all the voters in the country will be maintained as a central database by the government. This data is verified at the time of a voting process. Usage of Raspberry Pi will be advantageous for webcasting the complete voting process, real-time display of polling percentage and post-voting delivery of SMS on registered mobile number etc. This will increase reliability and improve the consistency of the Voting Machine. Authenticity and minimum usage of manpower are achieved at a cheaper cost and simpler process with this Raspberry Pi and its peripherals.
