Biometric Voting Machine Based on Fingerprint Scanner and Arduino

Abstract

This paper describes design of Biometric Voting Machine Using Fingerprint Scanner and Arduino for voting in institutes and organizations. Indian constitution empowers its citizen to exercise right to vote. Election decides the future of country, so that the system used for voting should be trustworthy. The conventional system for voting is ballot paper and Electronic voting machine too, has many flaws and trust issues. To eradicate malpractice and defrauding of the above methods of voting, we have designed an advanced system by using arduino and Fingerprint module. In this system, a person has to register a fingerprint ID with the system which will be centrally stored in arduino. In organizations, educational institutes, a co-operative bank, maximum number of votes elect head of organization that holds the office of public interest. For confirmation of voter, the name of the candidate will be displayed on LCD for whom the voter has cast a vote. It has simple hardware design and it is easily accessible. In case user wants to remove any of stored ID then the user need to press DEL key, after pressing DEL key, LED will ask to select ID that is to be deleted. After pressing OK key, the selected ID will be deleted and LCD will display that which ID has been deleted successfully. This system is flexible to use.
