This document describes the evolution of voting technologies from paper ballots to modern electronic voting. It discusses early technologies like lever machines and punch cards, and later innovations like optical scanning and electronic voting machines. The document then proposes a new "Global Wireless e-Voting System" that uses retina scanning and radio waves to securely store votes remotely on a server, avoiding issues with tampering of physical voting machines. Key features of this proposed system include ensuring voter eligibility and vote uniqueness while maintaining anonymity.
Global wireless e-voting
- 2. Evolution of Voting Technologies: Plain Paper Ballot Lever Machine Postal Punch Card Optical Scanning Telephone Phone Electronic Machine Voting(Direct Recording Electronic) Remote Electronic Voting (Online Voting) 1857 1892 1960s 1970s 1978 2000
- 3. Invented By Australian paper ballot system - A Great Innovation Current Usage Problem Counting & Re-Counting Problem (Hand Counting) Problem with Disabled People Solution Let Machine To Count the Vote Australian ballot (U.S., 1888) SOURCE: DOUGLAS W. JONES Plain Paper Ballot:
- 4. First Official Use At Lockport, New York in 1892 Known As “Myers Automatic Booth” + Points Privacy Automatic Counting Problems: No Physical Record Exist that represent voter’s intent No Recount Facility Mechanical Lever Machine;
- 5. Types of Punch Card Votomatic: Contains a hole beside the number of the choice. Datavote: Contains a hole beside the name of the candidate of their choice. + Points Automatic Counting Recount Facility - Points Recount rarely produce same count Punch Cards: The problems with punch-card ballots became well known after the state of Florida’s 2000 US Presidential Election.
- 6. Optical Scanning Clarity + Transparency From Paper Ballot System Mechanized Counting From Punch Card Optical Scanning First Invented By In 1937, By IBM Type 805 Test Scoring Machine, sensing graphite pencil marks on paper by their electrical conductivity Scanning Method : Visible Light , Infrared + Points Quicker Counting - Points Error rates from using the wrong type of pencil Under Vote & Over Vote , Dark/light marks
- 7. Now days voting system is replaced by electronic machine to carry out voting. Now in a present system each and every section is given a electronic machine which stores the votes of the people how have voted for the particular candidate. Control of present system is given to the in charge officer. He only check for the eligibility of the candidates and allow for the voting. Finally we collect all the voting machine at a place and go for counting. Present Voting System: Polling Station
- 9. But..... But… duping and corrupting these machines became quite common scenario…… The voting should take place only where the machine is located. After voting if any technical problems or damage occurs with the machines it may leads to the re-election. The machine is not able to recognize the eligibility of a candidate, so the corrupted officers may misguide the people. The corrupted officers may increase the count of the voting. During transportation of the machines the in charge person can change the status of machines and even may destroy. This system is not a cost effective one. Since we need security, in charge officers, secured place for counting and election place
- 10. So we have a new one “Global Wireless e-Voting System” In this proposed system, the machine is made intelligent which can determine the eligibility of the voter by scanning the eye pattern and also the vote count is not kept into the same machine itself instead of it is store in the remote server by converting it into radio waves. Here there is no chance of increasing the vote count of machine. Even in case of damage to voting machine there will not be harm to continuity of the election process. kiosk systems

- 15. Thus this machine can be used for any level voting purpose. The machine provides high level of security, authentication, reliability, and corruption -free mechanism. By this we can get result with in minute after a completion of voting…….Minimum manpower Utilization, hence mechanism is error free.
