Voting application that employs biometric fingerprint information

Prepared By:

Munesvaran A/L Saundarajan (18086488)

Project Supervisor: Dr. Muhammed Basheer Jasser

Initial Project Scope

The project aims to replace the current traditional voting system which is paper-based
voting system to a more transparent voting system that is more accessible to the voters. Our
app which implements biometric fingerprint information will allow voters to cast their votes
using their fingerprint information, which provides more transparency to the voting system.

Revised Project Scope

The project aims to replace the current traditional voting system which is paper-based
voting system to a more transparent voting system that is more accessible to the voters. The
voter has to sign in to the app. The user is then brought to a home page which contains the
news feed of the current election campaign, new developments concerning candidates. This
approach to the voting app can let the voters cast their votes without any third-party
intervention.

The capstone project 1 is to study about the similar voting systems currently being
implemented around the world and to develop an application which is accessible to the voters.
The workflow of the capstone project 1 is to study the voting systems being implemented
around the world and capstone project 2 is to develop, implement and test the application and
to submit a final report that will conclude the capstone project.

Project Milestones
1) To create a requirement documentation

2)To create diagrams regarding to system architecture of application

3) To create a mock-ups of the application

4)To create a functional GUI (front-end) of the app

5) To finalize the back-end side of the application

6) To conduct survey on app usability and analyze the data

7) Fix bugs and perform maintenance based on feedback

8)Write a comprehensive final report about the project
