    Biometric Voting System: Presented by Aniruddha Banerjee Debanjan Chatterjee

    Uploaded by

    saRAth asgaRdian
    This document proposes and describes a biometric voting system to address pitfalls in current voting methods. It discusses using biometrics like fingerprints, iris scans, and voice recognition to verify voter identity and authenticate votes. A block diagram shows the process of scanning biometrics, comparing them to a database, transferring valid votes to a count, and rejecting duplicate votes. Networks would connect voting machines within towns and transfer data to a central host. Advantages include increased security and fraud prevention, while disadvantages include high costs, potential for errors, and challenges deploying in rural areas.

    Pitfalls of Current Voting System

     Governed by Corruption, Injustice & Lack of Fairplay

     Democratic Principles becoming unprotected

     Election Integrity can’t be established

     Demoting faith from Citizens

     All these problems have raised the demand for a new


    accurate, secured & reliable form of Voting System
    Proposed Solution
     Biometric Voting System is a very secured & reliable form of
    voting System.

     It uses Biometrics for Voter Registration & Authentication.

     Biometric is the term given to the use of biological traits or


    behavioural characteristics to identify an individual.

     If this system is employed, the election would be fair and


    free from rigging.

     It will reduce mistrust and irregularities.


    Different Biological Traits
    Different Biological Traits may be :

     Fingerprints

     Hand Geometry

     Facial Geometry

     Iris & Retina Patterns

     Voice Recognition

     Handwriting Recognition
    Block Diagram for Whole
    Voting Process in Brief
    ACCEPTING IMAGE ACCEPTING OPTION

    SCANNING AND PROCESSING OF IMAGE & OPTION

    COMPARISON OF IMAGE WITH DATABASE

    IF IMAGE DOESN’T MATCH IF IMAGE MATCHES

    OPTION IS REJECTED OPTION IS TRANSFERRED AS COUNT

    AFTER TOTAL COUNT

    SUMS UP COUNT OF SIMILAR PARTIES COUNT OF EACH PARTY IS


    AND DATA IS ARRANGED IN AN TRANSFERRED TO HOST THROUGH
    ORDER TELEPHONE LINE
    Scanning & Processing: Fingerprint

     Fingerprint Scanner scans the


    Thumb Impression

     It captures a digital image or Live


    Scan

     The Live Scan is digitally processed


    to create a biometric template

     The Template contains a collection


    of extracted features (Ex: Minutiae)
    Scanning & Processing:
    Iris

     A camera scans the person's eye


    and produces a digital image
     Software then isolates the iris by
    drawing two circles, one at inner
    boundary & the other at outer
    boundary
     Polar Coordinates are then added
    to the image to define separate
    zones of analysis
     Pattern of light & dark areas in the
    iris is converted to template using
    bandpass filters
    Scanning & Processing:
    Voice

     System requires user to speak


    exact words or phrases
     Vocal tract shape, pitch, accent,
    quickness, pronunciation etc.
    influences in uniqueness of voice
     Voice Signal is then digitised into
    Spectrogram
     This Spectrogram serves as
    Voiceprint that is unique for every
    person
    Transfer of Processed Data to Hard
    Disk

     The data which is processed (Template / Voiceprint) is


    transferred to Hard Disk for searching process

     The Template / Voiceprint transferred to Hard Disk is


    compared with that of database

     Within the database, template / voiceprint is usually


    matched to a reference number, or PIN number which is
    then matched to a person's name or account.
    Process Verification of Voters

    NOTIFICATION OF VOTER’S NAME TO


    POLICE STATION
    Formation of The Network

     The voting machines present in a town are interlinked in the


    form of a highly secure LAN

     This network is formed with the help of the Telephone lines

     All the data collected in the voting system is first stored in


    the voting machine itself

     Then it is sent to the HOST which will be located at the


    Headquarters of the town

     All the data is collected there and it is transferred to the


    main HOST
    Formation of The Network
    in a Town
    Advantage
     Increased Security – Provide a convenient and low-cost
    additional tier of security

     Reduce fraud by employing hard-to-forge technologies and


    materials

     Eliminate problems caused by lost IDs or forgotten


    passwords by using physiological attributes

     Prevent unauthorised use of lost, stolen or "borrowed" ID


    cards

     Offer significant cost savings in long run

     Greater Accuracy, Faster Tabulation of Result

     Make it possible, automatically, to know WHO did WHAT,


    WHERE and WHEN!
    Disadvantage
     Expensive security solution

     Suffers from False Reject & False Accept Anomaly

     Suffers from Spoofing, specially relevant for behavioural


    properties

     Fail Safety of Biometric Infrastructure

     Must be able to accommodate changes to the biometric


    over time

     Effectiveness of sample collection process influenced by


    environmental conditions, user training & usability

     Harder to deploy in rural areas

     Has the potential to create socio-economic divides


    Conclusion

     Advent of this system would enable hosting of fair


    elections in India.

     Will preclude illegal practices like rigging

     The citizens can be sure that they alone can choose their
    leaders, thus exercising their right in the democracy

     Biometric approaches should be extremely carefully


    deployed
