Implementation of FPS Based Electronic Voting Machine Using GSM and Hex Key Pad

Abstract

The base of democracy is voting. Each vote is important thus recording and tallying of each vote with accuracy and impartiality is important. Voting is one of the electoral routes that ensure the sustenance of democratic system in any civilization. But rigging is one of the biggest problems during the election using EVMs. The possible rate of rigging in the EVMs is five votes per minute. So, to set right the current problems in Indian voting system the aim of electronic voting system using fingerprint technique is to design an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) system by using embedded system to eliminate the chances of rigging in an election. In this proposed system fingerprint technique is used. The vote will be confirmed in the favor of a candidate only when the fingerprint of the voter will be matched otherwise the vote will be rejected. The problem of booth capturing and multiple votes casted by single person is being addressed here. User would be able to get the message in his/her cell phone in order to ensure and acknowledging the successful casting of vote like VVPAT do in EVM. We can do on spot registration of the voter as well if candidate does not have finger print data available in EVM.
