CURRENT SYSTEM:
•Voter has to visit there respective booths
•Voters time and money is wasted
•Tampering of votes is reported
•Calculating of votes take more time

A voting system should satisfy these requirements:
• Eligibility and authentication – Only registered voters must
be admitted.
• Uniqueness – No voter may cast his vote more than once.
• Accuracy – Voting systems should record the votes correctly.
• Verifiability – Correctly accounting of all votes should be
verifiable.
• Secrecy – No one should be able to determine how any
individual voted.
• Minimum skill requirement for voter.
• Minimal requirement of equipment.
• Minimum Time required for vote.

OBJECTIVE:
The objective is to provide a national level system demonstrated at
college level which manages the election activity done in college
and calculation of total votes as well as to maintain the attendance
of institute members securely by using the Bar-code for
identification and biometrics for verification of user.
NEED:
• To increase voter turnout thus supporting democratic process.
•To vote from any nearby booth for their respective candidates.
•To eliminate proxy attendance.

How this system is different from other proposed Internet
Voting Systems :
•There are two kinds of Internet voting: Polling place Internet
voting, and remote Internet voting.
• Remote Internet voting is highly susceptible to voter fraud.
• Remote Internet voting may erode our right to cast a secret ballot
and lead to political pressure in the workplace.
• Remote Internet voting poses a threat to personal privacy.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
•Proposed system will mainly consist of a
fingerprint scanner, barcode scanner and
display screen.
•The voting machine will look like this ->
•For voting the voter will scan his unique
barcode and will scan his/her
fingerprints to authenticate themselves
and vote for respective candidates in
there area.

BARCODE (code 128):
•The barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data
relating to the object to which it is attached.
•Code 128 is a very high-density barcode symbology. It is used for
alphanumeric or numeric-only barcodes.

E.g.:
Branch Code:
111-Computer Science and Engineering.
222-Mechanical Engineering.
Role:
0- Attendee
1-Administrator
2-Voter
3-Candidate

Fingerprint Biometric:
•A fingerprint in its narrow sense is an
impression left by the friction ridges of a human
finger.
•The three basic patterns of fingerprint ridges
are the arch, loop, and whorl.
•The minutia features:
1. Ridge ending
2. Ridge bifurcation
3. Short ridge
4. Island
5. Ridge enclosure
6. Spur
7. Crossover
8. Delta
9. Core

DATABASE:
Database Name: rec
Database Tables:
• admdata (admin database)
• computer (branchname)
• computerattendance
(branchname+”attendance”)
• computercan (branchname+”
can”)
• computeruser_record
(branchname+” user_record”)
• metabranch (metadata of
branch)
Table Name Columns
admdata regno, name, gen,
mobileno, branch,fprint.
computer regno, name, gen, clas,
batch, mobileno,
branch,fprint, vstatus.
computerattendance regno, day, date, presence,
intime, outtime.
computercan regno, name, gen, branch,
clas, mobileno, symbol,
votes, fprint.
computeruser_record regno, name, gen, branch,
designation, tech_ntech,
mobileno, fprint.
metabranch branchcode, branch.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
Platform: Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 LUCID)
Language: Python 2.6
Database: MySql version 14.14 Distribution 5.1.73,
for debian-Linux-gnu(i486)using readline 6.1
RECOMMENDED HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
Processor: Intel x86 or AMD64 family processors
(Minimum clock at 700 MHz)
HDD: 20 GB or above
RAM: 512MB or above
Webcam: 5MP(USB)
Fingerprint Scanner (Nitgen Hamster Dx)

Advantages of this systems :
• Voter can cast his vote from any nearby booth increasing voter
turnout.
• Saves long distant travelling time and efforts taken by the voter.
• Saves traveling cost of the voter.
• Decrease number of manpower needed to carry out a election.
• Local language support for illiterate people.
• Proxy votes are almost discarded.
• More ACURATE , AUDITABLE , FLEXIBLE and
CONVINENT .
• Secure as biometric authentication is used .
• Cost-effective machines (OS , software and database used is a
freeware.)
•This system can be used as attendance system.

FUTURE SCOPE:
• This system can be implemented in new generation smart phones.
