E-VOTING THROUGH BIOMETRIC SECURITY SYSTEM

Assistant Professor, Dept: of Electronics and Communication Engineering, College of Engineering Perumon, Kollam - 5,6Abstract This paper deals with the design and development of an Electronic Voting Machine(EVM)Authentication using Biometric Information. Here finger print is used as the Biometric information. The suggested fingerprint voting system allows the user to scan his/her fingerprint, in order to check his eligibility by comparing his current fingerprint with the one already stored in the systems database, this paper is designed using PIC16F877A microcontroller and other associated peripheral like GSM module, Finger print module, LCD etc. Once the users complete the identification process, they will be allowed to cast their vote using friendly geographical user interface. The counting of the votes will be immediately and that makes the voting process efficient, fast, and secure. The GSM communication which gives the feedback to the voter just after they cast their vote.
