Internet Of Things Based Biometric Electronic Voting Machine

Abstract

The main aim of this concept is to design a real time voting system by using Internet Of Things(IOT) based biometric Electronic Voting Machine (EVM).

                 IOT based EVM is a biometric voting system designed specially to overcome the drawbacks of current electronic EVM’s. This concept allows voters to cast their vote through a electronic biometric enabled system (with the help of fingerprint scanner which actually indicates physical presence of the voter). This also makes the voting process more convenient and counting quicker than earlier. This system provides more security by reducing false voting, cross voting, rigging and is more efficient as it conserves both time and manpower.

                The main objective is to avoid occurrence of unethical practices if any to falsify voters during election time and at the same time to increase the voting percentage of people which is not above par in developing countries. This concept even helps in avoiding the manual errors. The major beneficiaries of this concept include common man, the election department, the government, public servants during election time and people representatives. Voters can make use of their vote right from anywhere, they need not be present in their own locality or native place since this mechanism can be installed anywhere just like an ATM machine and any person from any location can use it directly.
