Communication : Serial
Features :
1) Compact System.
2) Prevent Iake voting.
3) Using bio-metric data Ior identiIication and authentication.
4) Disable the electronic voting machine when Iake voting takes place.
5) Stores large Iinger print data.
6) Automatic operations.
ABSTRACT/SYNOPSES
According to the democratic procedure, voting is the only solution to resolve various
social, state, as well as country problems by electing a deserved candidate Ior
municipal elections, city mayor elections, panchayat elections, parliament elections
or any other kind oI institutional elections. There is always point oI doubt oI Iake
votings in Iavour oI any candidate by wrong means or methods but there is no
solution to protect such kind oI wrong/mis conduct oI elections, electronic voting
machine is only helpIul Ior selecting the candidate and storing the data electronically
and not be mis handled by the other parties.
In this project we develop a anti Iake electronic voting machine which prevents
Iake voting during the elections by using bio-metric Iingerprint data to stop the
voters Ior repeat votings by disabling the voting machine. When the voter comes
to the booth Ior voting it enters the Iingerprint data by optical Iinger print scanner
and send to the microcontroller/pc Ior matching the Iingerprint Ior identiIication
and opens the EVM (electronic voting machine) Ior authenticated voter Ior voting.
Once a vote is entered the machine automatically closed Ior the particular voter.
When the same voter tries to give the repeat vote, the Iingerprint scanner, scans
the Iingerprint and matched with the previous record and disables the voting Iunction
temporarily Ior the particular voter. In this way we can prevent the Iake voting.

ADVANTAGES:
1) Prevents Fake Voting.
2) Easy to operate.
3) Using bio-metric data Ior identiIication.
4) Less power consumption.
5) Compatible with any EVM.

APPLICATIONS:
1) Used in parliament elections.
2) In Institutional elections.
3) Security zones.
SCOPE FORADVANCEMENT:
* Using more than two scanners we can operate two or more EVM`s
simultaneously Ior Iast voting.
