IRJET- SMART VOTING SYSTEM WITH FINGER PRINT VERIFICATION USING AADHAAR CARD DATABASE (original) (raw)

An Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) is an electronic device that is used for casting votes in an electoral process. The Electronic Voting Machine was first introduced in 1982 in the Kerala elections. The main source of power supply for Electronic Voting Machine is battery and does not require current supply. The maximum number of votes that can be recorded in the EVM is 2000 votes. If the Electronic Voting Machine stops working it is replaced by a new a EVM and the votes recorded in the previous EVM is safely stored in the control unit. Presently, India is transforming into digital trends by adopting various technologies which make our lives easier. One of them is having an unique identity card which holds people's biometric details. This makes verification easier in most of the cases. One which provides security with all mandatory information is Aadhaar card, which is a twelve digit number for identification provided for all residents in India. Aadhaar card provides verification of demographic information in a cost effective way by online and this will be a great technique to identify fake votes, since every individual's biometric data is with the government the existing feature (EVM) is not capable of working with aadhaar card database online. Hence, we are going for Smart Voting Machine (SVM) which is capable of working with some features like IoT, cloud storage, location free work stations etc.
