ABSTRACT
Nowadays, providing preventive measures is one of the challenging matters
in the world. Either it is a bank or institutions or home or real estates, the
preventive measures are most important. Among the several field, providing
the preventive measures system for voting are the tedious and expensive
one. In order to provide the inexpensive solutions to the above, the Finger
Print and RFID reader Based Electronic voting machine project is developed.
This provides the security by means of finger prints and RFID tag numbers
which are stored already in the data base. Then the finger prints which is
stored in the data base is checked. Only if both the persons and the voter’s
finger print are the same then the voting machine is enabled. This finger
print matching is done with the help of finger print built-in application. If
person with the correct RFID number and existed finger print is trying to vote
so he is then allowed to cast his/her vote. Nowadays with the rise in
population the need for checking the validity of the voters has become a
problem. With the Arduino based finger print technique the task looks much
simpler and also the accuracy is high. So this system provides the cost
effective as well as reliable security for the users.
