 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE
The Fingerprint Voting System is a software application designed to provide a secure and
efficient method for conducting elections using fingerprint authentication. This system aims to
replace traditional paper-based voting methods with a more reliable and tamper-proof electronic
voting system. Basic point of these software is also to examine the fingerprint data of an
individual and compare [2]. This Software Requirements Specification document outlines the
functional and non-functional requirements of the Fingerprint Voting System.

1.2 SCOPE

The Fingerprint Voting System aims to provide the following functionalities:

a. Voter Registration: Enable eligible voters to register their fingerprint and personal details
into the system.
b. Authentication: Verify the identity of voters using fingerprint recognition before allowing
them to vote.
c. Vote Casting: Allow authenticated voters to cast their votes electronically.
d. Vote Counting: Automatically count and aggregate the votes to determine the election
results.
e. Results Reporting: Generate accurate and comprehensive reports on the election results.
f. System Administration: Provide administrative tools to manage the system, including user
registration, data management, and security settings.

1.3 OVERVIEW

The Fingerprint Voting System enables voters to authenticate their identity using their unique
fingerprints and cast their votes securely. The system includes the following key components:
a. Fingerprint recognition hardware and software.
b. Centralized database to store and manage voter information.
c. User interfaces for voters, administrators, and election officials.
d. Encryption and security measures to protect data integrity.

 OVERALL DESCRIPTION

2.1 Product Perspective

The Fingerprint Voting System is a standalone software solution designed to revolutionize the
voting process by incorporating biometric fingerprint recognition technology. It serves as a
comprehensive and integrated system that enables secure and efficient voting, while ensuring
the integrity of the electoral process.

2.2 Product function

The system involves accurately and efficiently recording attendance through facial recognition
technology.

Features:

• Fingerprint Authentication
• Efficient Voting Process
• Tamper-Proof
• Accessibility

2.3 User Characteristics

To use the software properly the user should have basic understanding of how to use Biometric
Authentication, Accuracy and Reliability effectively. The user’s device (such as smartphone,
tablet or computer) should meet the basic specification listed by the software. The
characteristics of user also involves accurate and reliable recognition. The users should have
clear and visible biometric characteristics and they should appear relatively consistent over
time.

 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Functional Requirement

Authentication:
• The system shall capture and store biometric fingerprint data for each registered voter.
• The system shall authenticate voters' identities by matching their fingerprints with the
stored data.
• The system shall provide a threshold for acceptable match quality to prevent false positives
or false negatives.

Voter Registration:

• The system shall allow election officials to enroll eligible voters by collecting their personal
information and capturing their fingerprints.
• The system shall validate and verify the submitted information during the registration
process.
• The system shall assign a unique identifier to each registered voter for identification and
tracking purposes.
Voting Process:
• The system shall display the ballot interface to the authenticated voter.
• The system shall enable voters to cast their votes by selecting candidates or options on the
ballot.
• The system shall prevent voters from casting multiple votes in the same election.
Result Tabulation:
• The system shall accurately record and store each cast vote in a secure and tamper-proof
manner.
• The system shall provide mechanisms for aggregating and tabulating the votes to determine
the election results.
• The system shall generate comprehensive reports detailing the results of the election.
Accessibility:
• The system shall support accessibility features, such as screen readers and alternative input
methods, to accommodate users with disabilities.
• The system shall provide options for adjusting font sizes, colour contrast, and other visual
settings for users with visual impairments.

3.2 Non-Functional Requirements

Security and Privacy:

• The system shall employ encryption and secure protocols to protect the transmission and
storage of biometric data and personal information.
• The system shall adhere to relevant data protection regulations and industry best practices
for handling sensitive voter information.

Performance:

• The system shall support a high volume of concurrent users during peak voting periods
without significant performance degradation.
• The system shall have an acceptable response time for authentication, ballot display, and
vote submission processes.

systems, such as Windows. The system should be able to operate on various computing
platforms, including desktop computers, mobile devices, or voting terminals.

3. API Requirements: The software should provide a well-defined Application Programming

Interface (API) to allow for seamless integration with other components or systems.

4. Data Management: The software should have robust data management capabilities,
ensuring the secure storage, retrieval, and processing of voter data. The software should
adhere to data protection regulations and best practices to maintain data privacy and
integrity.

5
4.3 Hardware Interface

1. Hardware Compatibility: The system should be compatible with standard fingerprint

scanning devices available in the market.
