Automatic Voting Machine – An Advanced Model for Secured Biometrics Based Voting System

Abstract

India, which is now considered as the world’s largest democracy has been praised in the whole world for its democratic principles of “Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, Republic”. It is now the second largest populous country in the world. Although the country has a rich technical and scientific infrastructure yet the voting and election procedures do not reflect it. In this paper we are going to propose a concept or idea about how the voting processes and equipments can be designed for a “free, fair and secure” polling in the upcoming days. Researchers have proved various problems related to the present voting technique in India which is through Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) [2]. Our proposed model of the equipment for voting will overcome those problems making elections & voting fair, convenient and reliable to every citizen. This proposed model will assure complete transparency and will definitely gain the trust and integrity of the voters. Biometric authentication and identity proof are given much priority while proposing the concept since biometric authentication is a type of system that relies on the unique biological characteristics (such as finger prints, retina scan, etc.) of individuals to verify identity for secure access to electronic systems.
