Abstract - The problem of voting is still critical in terms of
safety and security. This paper deals with the design and
development of a web-based voting system using cloud
computing and aadhaar card in order to provide a high
performance with high security to the voting system . we also
use web technology to make the voting system practical. The
proposed Online Voting System allows the voters to
authenticate using aadhaar no which is then matched withan
already saved within a database that is retrieved from
aadhaar card database of the government. The voting system
is managed in a simpler way as all the users must login by
aadhaar card number and password and click on his/her
favorable candidates to cast the vote. This will increase the
voting percentage in India and reduces the cost of voting
process. By using aadhaar card identification it provides
enough security which reduces the false votes.
1. INTRODUCTION
The proposed system is the online voting system with
authentication using aadhaar card. It determines the
particular voter by his/her aadhaar no whether he/she is a
valid voter or not. It allows particular voter to cast the vote
online and update the database in the server. Biometric
online voting system uses aadhaar card to retrieve the
details about the voter. The data is collected by the Unique
Identification Authority of India,
Aadhaar is the world's largest biometric ID system,
representing an identity of Indian people. Aadhaar is aproof
of residence and not a proof of citizenship, and it does not
itself grant any rights to domicile in India. Prior to the
achievement of the Act, UIDAI functioned as an attached
office of Planning Commission (now NITI Aayog) since 28
January 2009. On 3 March 2016, a money bill wasintroduced
in the assembly to give legislative backing to Aadhaar.
The court also limited the scope of the program and
reinstated the voluntary nature in other rulings. On 24
August 2017, the Indian Supreme Court delivered a
landmark verdict on Right to Privacy asa fundamental right,
overruling previous judgmentson the issue. AsofNovember
2017, a five-judge constitutional bench oftheSupremeCourt
is yet to hear various cases relating to the validityofAadhaar
on various grounds including privacy, surveillance and
exclusion from welfare benefits. On 9th January 2017, the
five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court of India
reserved its judgement on the interim relief sought by
petitions to extend the deadline making Aadhaarmandatory
for everything from bank accounts to mobile services. The
court said that the final hearing for the extension Aadhaar
Linking Deadlines will start from 17 January 2018. Some
civil liberty groups, like Citizens Forum for Civil Liberties
and Indian Social Action Forum (INSAF), have also opposed
the project over privacy concerns.
2. RELATED WORK
Many e-voting protocols have been proposed from
both theoretical and practical perspectives in the literature.
However, tothe bestof our knowledge, no complete solution
has been found because of the importance of security
requirements in voting systems such as privacy, accuracy,
fairness and robustness. E-voting protocols have an
anonymity requirement, which means the unlinkability
between the voter and his cast vote. Anonymity is the
primary requirement of the e-voting protocols in order to
satisfy voter privacy.
Fraud and system violations can be done without
being detectedin anonymousenvironments.Thisproperties
of e-voting forces the researchers to find a way to satisfy the
voter that his vote is really counted and the voting is done
properly.This requirement is named asverifiabilityandused
many years in the literature. In software engineering,
substantiation is the process of verifying that the system
complies with design specifications and formally specified
properties, such as consistency and redundancy; and
validation is the processof validating thatthesystemsatisfies
the intended use and fulfills the user requirements (IEEE
1996). In other words, verification is building the system
right and validation is building the right system. In an ideal
world, a verified system would benaturallyvalidated,butthis
is far from what is currently possible in practice. Even if it is
possible to specify formally all of the user requirements, and
then to verify that a system conforms to this specification,
therewould still be no guarantee that therequirementswere
correct. Substantiation can be viewed as a part of validation,
it is unlikelythat a system that is not built right tobetheright
system. However, attestation is unlikely to be the whole of
validation, due to the difficulty of specifying user
requirements. Therefore, it seems that validation should be
more than verification.

3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
To design a system
1.Allows the voters to login with aadhaar no, which is then
matched with an already saved within a database that is
retrieved from aadhaar card database of the government.
2.The voting system is managed in a simpler way as all the
users must login by aadhaar card number and One Time
password and click on his/her favorable candidates to cast
the vote.
3. Increase the voting percentage in India and reduces the
cost of voting process. By using unique identification no it
provides enough security which reduces the false votes.
4. GOALS and OBJECTIVES
Goals:
_ Identify intended voter using aadhaar card number.
_ System is used for avoid fake voting.
_ System provide high security for voting system.
_ use secured database using UID.
Objectives:
_ This is a voting system by which any voter can use his/her
voting rights from anywhere in the country.
_ Voter can cast their votes from anyplace in the country , in
highly secured way.
_ To makes voting a fearless of violence and that increases
the percentage of voting.
_ various drawbacks such as time consuming, consumes
large volume of paper work, no direct role for the higher
officials, damage of machines due to lack of attention, mass
update doesn’t allows users to update and edit many item
simultaneously etc.
5. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Fig -1: System Architecture
A description of the program architecture is
presented. The proposed system is the Biometric online
voting system using aadhaar card. It determines the
particular voter by his/her UPI no whether he/she is a valid
voter or not. It allowsparticular voter to castthevoteon-line
and update the database in the server.
This system proposes a secure online e-voting system that
uses UIDAI or aadhaar database as its backend. The system
ensures authentication of an individual bymatchingaadhaar
no and eligibility is checked by calculating the age of the
voter thus making the existing voting cards redundant. The
proposed system can handle voting at differentlevelssuchas
Parliamentary, Municipality, State legislative assembly, etc
simultaneously. The project will bring transparency in the
voting processby assuring the votersthat their voteswill be
in favor of the candidates of their choice. Besides electronic
recording and countingof voteswill be faster, moreaccurate
and less labor intensive. The design of this system will make
voting process more convenient and may therefore lead to
improve the turnout.
6. MATHEMATICAL MODEL
S=U, I, O, P
Where,
U = Set of users
Ui = {u1,u2,u3,... ... ...,un}
Where n>0
= ex. Primary user.
I = Set of Inputs
Ii = {i1, i2, i3,... ... ..., in}
Where n>0

= ex. Election ID and aadhaar ID
Output= {vote done successfully}
P = Set of Processes
Pi = {p1,p2,p3,... ... ...,pn}
Where n>0
7. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Fig -2: System Overview
8. CONCLUSION
By using the aadhar card we implemented the
system which increases the voter’s privacy. The system also
managed in simpler way as well as secure to voting system.
The aadhaar will provide the unique identification to each
voter so the breach of privacy is get avoided. Aadhaar
numbers will eventually serve as the basis for a database
with which disadvantaged Indian residents can access
services that have been denied to them due to lack of
identification documents. In future scope, we want to
implement the system for election system in India.
