Real Time Biometrics Based Smart EVM with FPGA Implementation

Abstract-In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, numerous techniques have emerged to improve voting systems, focusing on individual authentication and reducing malpractices. Recognizing each voter remains challenging, but advancements like a controller-based electronic voting machine using the R307 Fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication offer solutions. The proposed digital biometric-based EVM provides an efficient method for casting votes, implemented on an FPGA board using Verilog software on Xilinx ISE. This system ensures unique voter authentication and streamlines the voting process, demonstrating its capability to verify identities accurately and enhance the security of elections. As a result, it offers a reliable and secure solution for modern electoral processes. As a result, it offers a reliable and secure solution for modern electoral processes, improving voter confidence and reducing fraud. The implementation showcases a robust approach to addressing the shortcomings of traditional EVMs while maintaining the integrity of the electoral system.
