The basis of this project is to create an electronic voting machine that will help to eradicate defrauding of the manual voting systems by multiple votes cast by the same user. With the inclusion of a Near Field Communication ID card reader and biometric fingerprint device, each voter will be entered into the system through a swift process only after being recognized and checked to the given database of enlisted voters. Once the corresponding fingerprint is matched with the information provided by the identification card, the voter will be allowed to vote for their preferred candidate through a panel of buttons. The respective card will then be marked for further referencing, and the voter will not be allowed to take part in multiple votes. The proposed project also carries the unique feature of being autonomous during the course of operation, which helps to diminish the issue of hacking occurring in previous attempts of electronic voting machines.
