BIOMETRIC VOTINNG SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION What is BIOMETRICS? * Biometrics is the term given to the use of biological traits or behavioral characteristics to identify an individual. The traits may be fingerprints, hand geometry, facial geometry, retina patterns, voice recognition, and handwriting recognition. * we have used thumb impression for the purpose of voter identification or authentication. As the thumb impression of every individual is unique, it helps in maximizing the accuracy. A database is created containing the thumb impressions of all the voters in the constituency. Illegal votes and repetition of votes is checked for in this system. Hence if this system is employed the elections would be fair and free from rigging. Thanks to this system that conducting elections would no longer be a tedious and expensive job.

DESIGN * The design of the system consists of the following important parameters : Scanning-using DSP Processor. Searching –based on the principle of GOOGLE SEARCH. Networking-all the election booths are connected in a network. Data transfer –using telephone lines. * The only pre-requisite for the use of this finger print scanner is a personal identification card. We hope that this system proves to be efficient and enables the people to be smarter in choosing their leaders.

FINGER PRINT SCANNER FINGER PRINT SENSOR: This scans the thumb impression and proceeds the data in analog form to the next stage. A/D CONVERTER: This converts analog data to digital form and transfers to processor. FLASH ROM: This stores data temporarily in DSP processor until it is transferred to HOST. DSP CHIP: It helps in receiving and processing data and further connected to USB port. USB PORT: It establishes a link between DSP processor and memory.

ADVANTAGES : The system is highly reliable and secure. In the long run the maintenance cost is very less when compared to the present systems. Illegal practices like rigging in elections can be checked for. It is possible to get instantaneous results and with high accuracy.

CONCLUSION Thus the advent of this biometric thumb impression voting system would enable hosting of fair elections in India. This will preclude the illegal practices like rigging. The citizen can be sure that they alone can choose their leaders, exercising their right of democracy.
