 ABSTRACT
• A new authentication technique in online voting system using facial recognition of the
voter is used. In India, currently there are two types of voting system in practice. They are
secret paper and Electronic Voting Machines (EVM), but both of the process have some
limitatBalletion or demerits.

• In India online voting has not been yet implemented. The current voting system is not
safe and secure too. The voters need to go to distributed places like polling booths and
stand in a long queue to cast their vote, because of these reasons most of the people
misses their chance of voting.

• The voter who is not eligible can also cast its vote by fake means which may leads to
many problems. That’s why in this we have to propose a system or way for voting which
is very effective or useful in voting. In our approach we have three level of security
in voting process.

 INTRODUCTION
• Now a day in India two types of method are used for voting. [1] The first method is secret ballot
paper, in which lots of paper are used and [2] second method is EVM (electronic voting machine)
which is used since 2003. we have to propose a method or way for online voting that is more
secure than the existing system. In this proposed project face detection and recognition concept is
used to identify the exact person. There are three levels of verification were used for the voters in
our proposed system.

• The first one is Unique id number verification, second level of verification is election commission
id or voter card number, if your election commission id number is correct then you have to go for
third level of security which is the main security level where the system recognize the face of the
real voter from the current database of face images given by the election commission.

• If the captured image is matched with the respective image of the voter in the database, then a
voter can cast their vote in the election.as you have to know that in existing system is not much
more secure because in existing system security level is only voter card so any one can give other
person vote with voter card but here we proposed a way for voting which is more secure than 4
existing system. 18/04/2024
 FEATURES
• Face Recognition: The system uses advanced algorithms to identify individuals based on their
facial features, ensuring secure and accurate authentication.

• Voting Support: Integrates with existing voting systems to streamline the voting process, allowing
voters to authenticate themselves quickly and securely.

• Real-time Verification: Enables real-time verification of voters' identities, reducing the risk of
fraudulent activities and ensuring the integrity of the voting process.

• Accessibility: Provides accessibility features such as multi-language support and user-friendly

interfaces, making it easy for all eligible voters to participate in the democratic process.

 APPLICATIONS
 Voter Registration: Applications can be used for enrolling voters into the system by capturing their facial
biometrics and associating them with their voter information.

 Identity Verification: During the voting process, applications verify the identity of voters by comparing their
facial features with the registered biometric data to prevent impersonation.

 Fraud Detection: Face recognition technology can detect any attempts of fraud or irregularities in the voting
process, enhancing the integrity of elections.

 Data Security: Robust encryption and security measures are implemented in applications to protect voter data
and ensure the confidentiality of the voting process.

 ADVANTAGES
 Enhanced Security: With face recognition, only registered voters can participate in the voting
process. This prevents impersonation and ensures that each vote comes from an authenticated
individual.

 Efficiency: Instead of traditional methods like presenting identification cards or signing papers, voters
can simply stand in front of a camera for a quick verification. This speeds up the voting process and
reduces waiting times.

 Accuracy: Human errors in identifying voters or counting votes can be minimized with face
recognition technology. Each vote is accurately associated with the correct person, reducing the
chances of mistakes or fraud.

 Accessibility: Face recognition can make voting more accessible for people with disabilities or those
who face language barriers. It provides a convenient and inclusive way for individuals to exercise their
right to vote without needing assistance from others.

 LIMITATIONS
• Accuracy: Face recognition may not always be accurate due to variations in lighting, angles, facial
expressions, and occlusions.

• Privacy Concerns: Users may have concerns about their facial data being stored and potentially misused.

• Security Risks: Facial recognition systems can be susceptible to spoofing attacks using images or videos.

• Cost: Implementing a robust facial recognition system can be expensive, especially for widespread deployment
in voting systems.

• Accessibility: Facial recognition may not be suitable for individuals with certain disabilities or those who do
not have clear facial features.

 FUTURE SCOPE
• Face recognition technology adds an extra layer of
security to the voting process, ensuring that only
registered individuals can cast their votes, reducing the
risk of fraud.

• Implementing face recognition in voting systems can

make the process more accessible for voters with
disabilities or those who face language barriers, as it
doesn't require physical interaction or extensive literacy
skills.

• Automated face recognition can expedite the voting

process, reducing queues and wait times at polling
stations, leading to a more efficient and convenient
experience for voters.

 CONCLUSION
• As we see that existing voting system has many defects such as lengthy process, time taking, not
secure, bogus voting, no security level but now we can say that our approach is more useful
and secure from the existing system. Since, we are using three level of security in this proposed
system the false voters can be easily identified. The facial authentication technique is very much
useful in identifying the fraud voters, so we can avoid the bogus votes during election
commission. The voters can cast their voting from anywhere by login to our proposed smart
voting system through internet.

• As every operation is performed through internet connectivity so, it is one-time investment for
government. Voters’ location is not important but their voting is important. As data is stored in
centralized repository so, data is accessible at any time as well as backup of the data is possible.
Smart voting system provides updated result at each and every minute. Also requires less man
power and resources. The database needs to be updated every year or before election so that new
eligible citizens may be enrolled and those who are dead are removed from the voter list.
