3. INTRODUCTION
 Biometrics is the term given to the use of
biological traits or behavioral
characteristics to identify an individual.
 The traits may be fingerprints, hand
geometry, facial geometry, retina patterns,
voice recognition, and handwriting
recognition.
 If this system is employed the elections
would be fair and free from rigging.

4. DESIGN
1. Scanning- Using DSP Processor
2. Searching- Searching the database
3. Networking- All the election booths
are connected in a network
4. Data transfer– Using telephone lines

5. SUMMARY OF DESIGN

6. 1.DESCRIPTION OF THE VOTING
MACHINE:

7. BLOCK DIAGRAM FOR THE WHOLE PROCESS
IN BRIEF:

8. 1.1.FINGER PRINT SCANNER:
 FINGER PRINT SENSOR: This is used to scan the
thumb impression.
 A/D CONVERTER: This is used to convert the
analog data into the digital data and transfer it to
the processor.
 FLASH ROM: This is for the storage of the data
temporarily in the DSP processor.
 DSP CHIP: This is used to receive the data and
process it.
 USB PORT: The sole purpose of the USB port is to
establish a communication link between the DSP
processor and the MEMORY (DATABASE).

9. 1.1.1.EXTRACTION OF THUMB
IMPRESSION:

10. 1.2.FEATURE EXTRACTION AND
COMPARISON SCANNING AND PROCESSING

11. 1.3.TRANSFER OF PROCESSED DATA TO
THE HARD DISK:
 The data which is processed in the DSP
chip (finger print) is transferred in
parallel to the HARD DISK for
searching process.
 The image transferred to the HARD
DISK is compared with that of the
DATA BASE.

12. 1.4.VARIOUS PROCESSES VERIFICATION
OF VOTERS:

13. 1.5.PROCESSING AND COUNTING:

14. 1.6.REJECTION OF VOTER
REPETITION

15. 2.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 headquarters of the town.
 All the data is collected there and it is
transferred to the main HOST.

16. 2.1.FORMATION OF THE NETWORK
IN A TOWN:

17. 3. ADVANTAGES:
 The system is highly reliable and secure.
 In the long run the maintenance cost is
very less when compared to the present
systems.
 Illegal practices like rigging in elections
can be checked for.
 It is possible to get instantaneous results
and with high accuracy.

18. CONCLUSION:
 Thus the advent of this biometric thumb
impression voting system would enable
hosting of fair elections in India.
 This will preclude the illegal practices like
rigging.
 The citizens can be sure that they alone can
choose their leaders, thus exercising their
right in the democracy.
