Abstract
The voting process plays a key role in electing the decision-makers in democratic countries like India. Nowadays the electronic voting machine is widely used, which has extensively reduced counting times as compared to the older election process that used ballots. This is the motivation to propose a work that automates the process of voting using biometrics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud storage. This would reduce the time, expenses, and human effort. The proposed system prevents fake votes using biometric validation, making it more credible. This mechanism is more secure as it would use a two-step verification process implemented using OTP sent through SMS. The proposed system is to be made on Raspberry Pi and contains an LCD touch screen, enabling a smooth interface for voting and a fingerprint scanner for biometric verification. Results will be instantly available on storage which reduce counting time. We are confident that introducing this system in the general elections would bring a remarkable change in the election process.
