Advanced Voting Machine with Secutiry Features

Abstract

Voting is most pivotal process of democratic society through which people determine its government. Governments around the world are increasingly considering the replacement of traditional paper-based voting schemes with electronic voting systems. Here we are designing a fully secured voting machine using smart card. The voter’s identification is done by a ‘Smart Memory Card’ which contain the voters ID. As soon as the voter inserts the card in the smart card reader, the microcontroller will check and then allow the voter to vote. The microcontroller will also check for duplicate voting. If duplicate card is detected buzzer is turned ON and voting is locked. The microcontroller will count the votes and store in its internal memory. When the result button is pressed, the microcontroller will display the voting result on LCD. If any malpractice/Booth capturing is observed then the administrator can press the reset button which will lock the voting machine and further voting is suspended.
