RFID based secure voting system with biometric authentication

The voting system around the world has been plagued by numerous fundamental flaws, resulting in a corrupt candidate winning an election. For elections in democratic countries like India, the voting mechanism is extremely important. Generally, India's electoral commission has relied on electronic voting machines, which require more staff, take longer to process, and are less reliable. Approaches to addressing the issues with voting methods are required. So, In this project we came up with an idea to eradicate the existing system problem by incorporating various technologies that are being used these days especially for confidential purposes. This proposed system explicates a vulnerable part of the existing system to be terminated by proceeding with IOT being the power source for this project, followed by that we have included RFID to be used for authentication along with the biometrics for enhancing our system as a functional, safe and secure system. Being a Multi-tier authentication system, our system is handled by two individuals to start the process of voting. One, with the initialization of IOT and another who commences the casting process with the authentication of RFID. With this, we made use of GSM that acts as a communicator between the voter and the system for sending the confirmation information to the candidate’s mobile. Our primary goal is to eliminate fraud while also improving the feasibility of the system.
