Smart and Secure Voting Machine using Biometrics

India, considered being one of the largest democratic countries in the world. Besides this country have the largest number of population and a number of politicians in each party. The fate of the country and citizens is in the hand of the political representative of the country, who was chosen by the citizens of the country by voting. This gives an illustration of how much the fundamental right to vote is important. But according to research, in 2014, in common election, in India, only 66.4% of valid citizens cast their votes. This may represent that the voters do not value or care about their right to vote or maybe there is a problem with the voting system. The voting system has a few problems with it. One of the major problems in existing voting system, which is EVM (Electronic Voting Machine), in that the voter cannot verify whether his vote is registered or not and even if it is registered it is not possible to know if it is registered under the correct candidate the voter had cast his vote too. So, in this paper, we propose a system or method which will solve that problem of the current voting system available in India.
