Biometric Based Voter Authentication System

Abstract

Voting with Fingerprint Technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) will encourage greater confidence in voting due to added security and efficiency during elections. Technology has evolved and traditional voting systems suffer from various issues including impersonation, duplicate voters, and human error when counting or recording the vote. The Fingerprint-Based Voting System using IoT will use fingerprint technology to authenticate votes in order to ensure that only registered voters will be able to vote. Once the voter is verified by the system, that voter can cast his/her vote via push buttons and the system will record the vote at that time. Since data transmissions occur in real-time from IoT Devices to a cloud services provider, the vote can be monitored from anywhere and results will be processed more quickly than under current voting standards. The Fingerprint Based Voting will help avoid multiple voting by changing the status of the voter after they vote. Most importantly, the Fingerprint Voting System will minimize human business and improve voting accuracy, transparency, and reliability for today's digital voting methodologies.
