Advanced E-Voting System

Abstract

This advanced electoral system aims to revolutionize voting by ensuring a secure, efficient, and user-friendly process. The core feature is its biometric fingerprint authentication, which guarantees that only eligible voters participate, reducing the risk of fraud. By integrating a voter list database, voters can easily identify themselves using their fingerprints, minimizing wait times and confusion at polling stations. The system also enhances voter convenience by allowing them to select their preferred polling station after identity confirmation. Once at the station, voters can cast their votes electronically, streamlining the process and ensuring accuracy. Election authorities benefit from real-time data management, providing them with up-to-the-minute insights into the voting process, enabling better oversight and transparency. Overall, this system addresses critical issues in traditional voting, offering a secure and efficient solution for modern elections.

Introduction

This project presents an advanced electronic voting system aimed at enhancing election security, efficiency, and transparency. It addresses common problems in traditional voting, such as voter fraud and slow identification, by implementing biometric fingerprint authentication to ensure only registered voters participate. The system features an easy-to-use interface suitable for all users.

The integration of blockchain technology is highlighted as a promising solution for secure, tamper-resistant voting, despite being relatively new and not yet fully understood. Various security enhancements like RFID, finger vein sensing, and environmental sensors have also been explored in academic research.

The literature survey covers global studies on blockchain-based e-voting, its privacy and security benefits, and challenges like scalability and regulatory needs. It also reviews online voting systems that enhance accessibility and transparency but face verification challenges. Other research includes multi-factor authentication for online voting, digital circuit designs for vote counting, and blockchain frameworks like Hyperledger Sawtooth to ensure vote integrity and trust.

The project’s system architecture combines biometric authentication and blockchain to provide a reliable, secure, and transparent electronic voting solution.

Conclusion

In correlation to the research all of the objectives and goals of the voting areas has been achieved positively. On the research of various voting systems, we analyzed the security risk that could harm the integrity and confidentiality of the voting process. The result of our study proposed that the fingerprint is recognized as the popular biometric methods, for that intention the main motive of this research is to developing a secure and efficient fingerprint Evoting system based on android application that contains GUI designed. In these research exercises, we conceive a testing methodology, improved new tools for the security analysis and suggest a new idea of the voting system. This E-voting system has the ability to reduce fraud attempts and eliminate errors in votes counting. In addition to its scalability this system can handle various techniques and provide enhanced efficiency and reliability for the elections. This fingerprint E-voting system which is based on android application is evaluated and implemented successfully. The final result of the voting system was amazingly computable and significant with other voting system.
