ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE
N.PRADEEP KUMAR NAYAK-
INTRODUCTIO
N
• This project is designed for electronic voting machine by using the fingerprint identification
method.
• Here voter’s thumb impressions are used for identification.
• During voting when the voter places his/her thumb on the scanner, the system will
check
whether it matches with pre stored impressions in the database.
• If it matches then system will allow the voter to poll his vote and otherwise prevent the voter
from polling.
WHAT IS MEANT BY
VOTING?
• The objective of voting is to allow voters to exercise their right to express their
choices regarding specific issues.
• In a democracy, a government is chosen by voting in an election, a way for an
electorate to elect, i.e. choose, among several candidates for rule.
TOOLS IMPLEMENTED FOR
VOTING.
• Technology is being used more and more as a tool to assist voters to cast their votes.
• The two types of systems implemented for voting are:
1. Ballot box.
1. Electronic Voting Machine(EVM).
ELECTRONIC
VOTING
MACHINE(EVM
• EVMs were first used in the by-election to north paravur assembly constituency of
kerala in 1981.
• EVM consists of two parts: )
i) Balloting unit and Controlling unit.
ii) EVM reduce the time in both casting and declaring of results compared to ballot
box.
ADVANTAGES OF
EVM
• Ballot box systems are prone to human errors and lot of time consuming.
• EVM is human error free and time saver.
• Provide multiple languages to users who may not have English as a first language.
• EVM can provide headphones to read off instructions to the blind user.
DISADVANTAGES OF
EVM
• EVM are no different than websites or software; they can be penetrated and altered
by a hacker.
• Overall cost is high, physical tampering could be possible.
• Computer software and systems can have problems that may delay or even halt
voting.
FEATUR
ES
• Integrated image collecting and algorithm chip together
• Low power consumption, low cost, small size, excellent performance
• Professional optical technology, precise module manufacturing techniques
• Good image processing capabilities, can capture up to resolution 500 dpi(dots per
inch).
TECHNIQUES
INVOLVED
• The techniques used here are:
1. Extraction algorithm
2. Matching algorithm
SOFTWARE'S
USED..
The software's used in our project are:
1. Keil µ vision 3
2. Proteus
ADVANTAGE
S
• Cost effective
• Low power consumption
• It is economical
• Less manpower required
• Time conscious, as less time required for voting and counting
• Avoids invalid voting.
• Saves transportation cost due to its compact size.
• Convenient on the part of voter.
LIMITATIO
NS
• The limitations of this projects are:
• The collection of fingerprints of all the voters is little difficult.
• Only fingerprints of the voters is identified instead of identifying the persons
FUTURE
SCOPE
• Number of candidates could be increased.
• It could be interfaced with printer to get the hard copy of the result almost instantly
from the machine itself.
• Once the result is on the server it could be relayed on the network to various offices
of the election conducting authority.
CONCLUSIO
N
• This project can be used for voting since it overcome all the draw backs of ordinary
voting machine.
• It provide additional security.
• Its main advantage is that since fingerprints of every person is unique and hence this
system completely reduces the chance of invalid votes.
• The system can be manufactured simply as well as cheap.
