摘要：It has always been an arduous task for the election commission to conduct free and fair polls in our country, the largestdemocracy in the world. Crore of rupees have been spent on this to make sure that the elections are riot free. But, now-a-days it has becomecommon for some forces to indulge in rigging which may eventually lead to a result contrary to the actual verdict given by the people. Thispaper aims to present a new voting system employing biometrics in order to avoid rigging and to enhance the accuracy and speed of theprocess. The system uses thumb impression for voter identification as we know that the thumb impression of every human being has aunique pattern. Thus it would have an edge over the present day voting systems. As a pre-poll procedure, a database consisting of the thumbimpressions of all the eligible voters in a constituency is created. During elections, the thumb impression of a voter is entered as input to thesystem. This is then compared with the available records in the database. If the particular pattern matches with anyone in the availablerecord, access to cast a vote is granted. But in case the pattern doesn’t match with the records of the database or in case of repetition, accessto cast a vote is denied or the vote gets rejected. Also the police station nearby to the election poll booth is informed about the identity of theimposter. All the voting machines are connected in a network, through which data transfer takes place to the main host. The result isinstantaneous and counting is done finally at the main host itself. The overall cost for conducting elections gets reduced and so does themaintenance cost of the systems
