Arduino Based Smart and Remote Voting System with Smart Card Implementation and Dual Biometric Authentication

Abstract

Abstract: Democracy is a synonym for progress of the nation. Improving voting numbers will boost in overall development of the country. To achieve this task, we propose an IoT based remote electronic voting system, provided with dual biometric authentication, composed of fingerprint verification and face recognition. Instead of paper based identification card, we intent to implement an RFID based smartcard with details of the voter stored in the card, including biometric data saved alongside information like name, age, locality, constituency and even aadhar identification number. This model uses face recognition using Haar cascade and LBPH algorithms, set up using OpenCV libraries. The EVM system captures the face data of the voter, verifies by comparing it with existing face datasets, and upon validation will be allowed to cast their vote.
